The Maniac attended retirement ceremonies with the Colts, underscoring the leadership and culture shift as Indy throttled the Raiders in all three phases.

Leonard announced retirement at halftime, ending a storied run as a defensive anchor. His leadership defined Indy’s defense for years, and his departure marks a pivotal moment for the Colts’ front seven and locker room.

Leonard’s presence as a defensive leader tied to the Colts' swagger week signals potential fantasy upside in tackles, assists, and turnover opportunities.

Leonard, nicknamed the Maniac, defined a six-year Colts run with elite turnover production—17 forced fumbles and 12 interceptions—while earning four All-Pro nods, 2018 Defensive ROY and three Pro Bowls. Back injuries shortened his peak, finishing with 637 tackles, 16 sacks, and last appearing in 2023 with Philadelphia, retiring at 30.

A three‐time All‐Pro and 2018 Defensive Rookie of the Year, Leonard piled up 614 tackles in 70 Colts games and registered 17 forced fumbles. Injury setbacks marred 2022, and a 2023 release capped his Indy chapter, but his impact on leadership and playmaking endures.
