Colts LB Darius Leonard Wants 40 Tackles vs. Giants After Pro Bowl Snub

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard is prepared to test the limits of what's possible on a football field in response to only receiving alternate status for the 2019 Pro Bowl.

"He told me he wanted 40 tackles, but I told him it's humanly impossible," Colts tight end Eric Ebron said of his teammate, per ESPN.com's Mike Wells. "He doesn't care ... Things like [the Pro Bowl] should really go by statistics rather than names. He's one of the all-time great rookie linebackers statistically in a long time."

Wells also shared Leonard's thoughts about the matter.
