I was just watching Brian Leonard do the Leonard Leap with the Rams.
And I thought of McGuffie's leap, also.
The reason why Leonard's leaps work so well is because he's so heavy, DBs go low on him. That allows Brian to jump over them.
Sam is in fact much smaller than Brian was in college. The Malcolm Jenkins and Taylor Mays of college football are not going to hesitate one bit to go high on someone of McGuffie's size.
I think Sam should watch out with the leap and notice the difference in situation between him and Brian.
If he goes in thinking, "Brian Leonard does it, so can I," he's going to have a painful and rude awakening.
