Fantasy Impact:
The honor comes just weeks after Leonard failed to make the Pro Bowl, causing outrage around the league. Leonard himself said he was “heartbroken” over the snub. The second-rounder joins first round pick and teammate left guard Quenton Nelson on the team. They make the first pair of rookie teammates to be selected first-team All-Pro since 1965 when a pair of Bears legends Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers did it.
