INDIANAPOLIS – Maybe he’s the one. Yeah, him. Not so big, not so strong, from a tiny college, zero NFL experience. But Darius Leonard could be the one, the next one, the first one in a long time, to give the 2018 Indianapolis Colts defense a legitimate playmaker.

If not him, maybe it’ll be another guy facing long odds. No, Malik Hooker isn’t the same kind of underdog as South Carolina State's Darius Leonard.
