One of the players who spoke to the media after the Pro Day had concluded was Leonard and he talked about how he was leaning on former Yellow Jacket and current Green Bay Packers tight end Tyler Davis for advice about the draft process:
"I would say I learned a lot from (former Georgia Tech tight end) Tyler Davis. He went through this process four years ago and so I leaned on him heavy, he has a lot of experience, he just re-signed with the Packers so he obviously knows how to do things the right way. So, I leaned on him a lot for the interview process and what to look for, you know, just going through training, learning from him as much as I could and applied it and he has been a guy that I have relied on since I was here and that is continuing to the next step, definitely fortunate to have him in my corner."
