Leonard Myers, a Dillard High graduate who played at Miami from 1997-2000, died after a battle with cancer on Friday morning according to social media posts from his friends and family.
Myers was 38.
A cornerback who earned a Super Bowl ring with the Patriots in 2002, Myers signed with Butch Davis and Miami after an exceptional high school career.
Part of Davis’ rebuild at Miami, Myers was a starter for parts of three seasons and was a second-team all-Big East Conference selection as a senior in 2000 despite missing a lot of time with a foot injury which would hamper him moving forward.
