Leonard is a very good sleeper RB, can catch out of the backfield, can run, picks up his blocks, will play anywhere for the team -- very unselfish and great attitude. There are a lot of reasons to be high on Leonard.
The feeling I get from ESPiN and NFLN and elsewhere about Pittman is that it's almost like he's lower on the radar because he's from a big-name program and, while his stats were great, he wasn't the headline player.
These tv stations and such seem to dwell on big-name prospects (BQ, Jamarcus, CJ, DJ, Ginn, etc.) and sleepers. In the end, I think Antonio and Brian could both be steals in the bottom of the 2nd/3rd.
