“I just don’t understand why nobody talks about this guy.” - Former NFL linebacker Ben Leber on Alabama left tackle Alex Leatherwood.
If you’re wary about the selection of Leatherwood at 17 by the Las Vegas Raiders, then it’s possible that the grade given to him by a former Vikings linebacker in the 2000s won’t matter to you. “What does he know about playing tackle?”
Fair enough. I can’t argue that Ben Leber is getting the same amount of draft respect as Daniel Jeremiah or Todd McShay or any of the people who are famously associated with analyzing and rating NFL prospects.
