Colts LB Darius Leonard calls out NFL prospects for talking
By Braulio Perez
With the NFL Draft coming later this month, fans across the country can't wait to see which superstar players will get selected by their teams. If you ask Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard, though, the Draft can't get over with soon enough.
That's because the talented 'backer had a clear and simple message for the 2021 prospects: keep your mouth shut and let your play do the talking.
This draft class talks too much for me! Let your work do the talking cause if you’re doing all this talking to the media or in social media and you don’t perform like you expect yourself to these media guys going to use it against ya! Keep ya mouth closed and grind! That’s it!

Leonard really didn't hold back here. Can you blame him for having this reaction? We're seeing guys consistently talk on social media leading up to the NFL Draft.
The LB is right, let your play do the talking! Once folks line up across from him, he'll be ready to give a quick reminder that it's best to keep your mouth shut.
