He was second on the team in tackles for two straight years. You don't get much more talented than that.
Well we haven't seen Leo play either so we really can't say if the defense will be any worse according to his position. Do I think Leo has the IQ that Benni does? Probably not but Leo was a higher 4 star coming out of high school than Benni was so who's the say he doesn't have a better career. We will never know until we see the kid play. I think Leo is a better athlete than Benni and can get to the ball quicker. Yes we will lose some smarts more than likely but Leo has played football his whole life he will figure it out and he just had a whole season to learn the plays. But nobody is taking anything away from Benni, he was a hell of a player for us. Wish him the best in the NFL.
