Speed, instincts and a lot of energy. Those were a few ways Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Najee Goode described — arguably — the Indianapolis Colts’ best defender in linebacker Darius Leonard shortly after practice on Thursday. Last year, Goode was on the Colts primarily used as a special teams player, however, was able to get defensive reps every so often. Now a starter of the Jaguars’ defense, he’s looking forward to competing on Sunday.
Both Goode and Leonard spent plenty of time on and off the field as teammates and friends.
