I've never really been that excited about Leno. But jeez, he might be the best VALUE on the team over time. 7th round pick who started at LT starting in his 3rd year. Re-signed with a moderate FA OT contract that he's been outperforming ever since. Now he's performing near the top of the league at his position. And the guy never gets hurt.

What more could you ask for than that out of a 7th round pick?

What's kind of funny is that he, Whitehair, and Kush all measured exactly the same height at their pro days, but only Leno is officially listed at 6'3. Daniels measured at 6'3 3/8 and he's listed at 6'4.

I don't know why it bothers me so much. List him at 6'4 and I'll be happy!

Haha. Outstanding.

I’m hoping Coward can develop in a similar manner on the other side. The coaches seem to really like his potential.

Replace the bear in the banner picture with wab's pained grin as he wears it.
