First two years he had 12 sacks, 7 INTs, and 6 forced fumbles. Final year before he broke down he had 4 INTs and 8 forced fumbles... that's retarded.
Franklin's resumé is always going to look modest compared to that. And so will every other LB's.

Leonard’s pace was historic. If he kept that up over a decently long career ppl would be arguing for him as one of the greatest LBs ever. Now I think he’ll be remembered like Bob Sanders.
