Trent Richardson???? Really!
Todd Gurley is the only one close in your other category
Richardson was an athletic freak.
And you're ignorant. Murray ran a 4.38 at 6'2" 223 at the combine. Henry ran a 4.54 at 6'3" 247 and had a 37" vertical. David Johnson ran a 4.50 at 6'1" 224 with a 41.5" vertical. Elliot ran a 4.47 at 225. There are plenty of athletic freaks running the ball in the NFL.
As far as backs I'd take over Fournette there are plenty. There are a lot of guys that we know can run the ball effectively in the league, Leonard is just potential at this point.
To list McCoy, Demarco Murray, and Zeke as the only three better backs in the league is laughable. Hysterically laughable. Kid doesn't have one carry in the NFL
That's putting him ahead of the Todd Gurleys, David Johnsons, and Leveon Bells of the world. I find that comical. Then again I've seen Leonard in person 3 times and he never did much, so perhaps I'm biased

I don't know where you got those combine numbers from, but NO....Murray measure in at 6'0"; 10 lbs lighter (213), and ran a 4.41 and 4.43 officially.
Simulcast of Murray and Jeremy Langford running at the combine.
Langford ran a 4.42 just to reference. Even with Murray's injury history coming out of college, there is no way he last until the 3rd round with the measurables that you've stated.

It takes a lot more than athleticism to be successful in the NFL. Henry is big and fast.. but has poor foot quickness, doesn't cut back well, and is a mediocre tackle breaker (probably because he's so tall). 4.54 is pretty fricking crazy for a 250 lb back though.. but his 4.38 20-yard shuttle was embarrassing.. only 2 RB prospects have ran a slower time going back all the way to 2006.. 9 OL have ran faster times since 2006.
