My biggest disappointment? And I admit this may be based on my unrealistic expectations.

He runs a 4.3 forty. That's speed an NFL wide receiver would envy.

I figured he could cut it up to the outside and take the corner like a greyhound, and with his size along with his speed, be a menace.

He looks very ordinary on sweeps and is many times run down from behind.

Tentatively looking for holes? Maybe.

For LF, forty-time does not translate into on-field speed?

That's what I'm afraid of.

Yes, Cecil Collins jumped right in and looked like a man among boys in the SEC. I guess I expected the same from Leonard. And that's my fault, not his.

But overall grade so far? C+.

I hope he continues to develop, but he's going to need more carries.

Cecil Collins sat out his freshman year.

1 year is a lot of time to mature.
