"Leonard was 235 to 233 or so during spring; we want him right around 225 so his strength and speed are maximized," Miles said. "He's an elite guy and he wants to be an elite body as he goes into fall. Certainly this summer will provide him with that opportunity.

"He's a great teammate, unselfish. He wants for the team. He has great leadership. I think he's going to have a great year. He's poised to be better than he was last year."
