The Indianapolis Colts had the cornerstone of their defense and unspoken leader of the franchise in place for years to come. The All-Pro linebacker, Shaquille Leonard, signed a five year extension with the team that would run through the 2026 season. The “Maniac” was here to stay.
Fast-forward two years into that deal and Leonard may not even be in the league come next year. The star of the Colts defense has been wrecked by injuries over the last two years that have left him looking nothing like the man we saw running sideline to sideline in Lucas Oil the first four years of his career.
