“Leonard was chucking it like it was the second half of the national title game against Ohio State. It was an impressive drive in what has been a largely inaccurate camp for Leonard.”

Not sure I've ever rooted harder for a guy on an opposing team in my life. Maybe CJ Stroud too

Glad to see he's doing well so far but, there's only four QB's on the camp roster and the bar wasn't set very high to begin with.

The way that dude runs his offense with the QB run a heavy part of it..... I'd say it's quite likely he'll get time based on the fact that 2 guys ahead of him have injury history

Watched the game as a Colts fan. He was the best QB out there, but he was also battling Daniel Jones and an injured (for the 500th time) Anthony Richardson. Wish Steichen called plays that suited his style more, but not surprised knowing him as a playcaller. Leonard did throw a pretty bad INT late, but the o-line was also doing him no favors.

7/10 performance overall.

I saw the INT, looked like he got hit in the pocket as he released it, so I wouldn't put it entirely on him. I honestly didn't see the whole game, so I can't say really how he looked as a whole, but I'd trust your judgement.

I’d love to see him get some first half run with the 1s/2s, but he made some strong throws and showed pretty solid decision making. He actually was playing with some decent skill talent in Khalil Herbert, Laquon Treadwell, and Ashton Dulin. The INT was an ill advised throw as he is going to have to learn to just take a sack in some situations. I think Jones looked better, but not by a wide margin.

As a Colts fan, the Anthony Richardson pick will keep them down for YEARS... such an overhyped QB that is also injured majority of the time. Would not mind seeing Riley get a shot.

He is certainly better than Shaduer Sanders who played in the second half against the scrubs for the Rams and took 5 sacks and got zero scores. Gabriel was 12/19 130 yards one TD and zero ints. Shaduer was 3/6 for 14 yards and 5 sacks. That was a wasted 5th round pick. Trade him to see if you can get a 4th round next year. It’s either that or practice squad. Huntley came in to play one series and drive the Browns for a winning field goal. Not a happy day for the Sanders clan.

Officially made the 53-man. I don't know that a lot of people would have thought that during last season, and even after the draft.
If he becomes a legit starter how much credit does ND get in his development?
