Darius Leonard wins AFC Defensive Player of the Month

The Colts will head into the playoffs this weekend with high hopes, but they may have a problem in the form of Darius Leonard. Why, you ask? Because by the time Saturday arrives, I’m not sure Leonard will be able to play under the weight of all the hardware he just can’t stop from collecting.

Leonard has yet again done something incredible. He was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Titans, and has now been awarded the AFC Defensive Player of the Month.

Only one other Colts rookie, Edgerrin James, has ever been named AFC Player of the Month.
