Re: Leslie O'Neal

I think he was underrated on his run defense. So many times they would try and run wide to his side. He so often would force the ball carrier deeper into the backfield than desired. The corner or the linebacker get the tackle for loss stat, but it was Leslie that made the play. He should at least be...
