Leonard
I was one of Leonards roomates at UT and continue to stay in touch with him. I usually go to his house about twice a year and have a good relationship with him. I really done understand how he could have done this. When I heard this I couldn't and still cant believe he did this. When we were in school he was such a great guy. He was such a leader and never would drink or smoke weed like most other athletes. He never wanted to take a chance on hurting his career and setting a bad example. I can honestly say when he was involved in his first accident in st louis I know he was devistated as he should have been, what he did was very stupid and cost someone their life. I am going to say something that is going to sound stupid but this guy is one of those guys that never drinks, it was his birthday and his fellow linebackers took him out and got him trashed, he didnt know how to respond because the guy never drinks and made the mistake of his life. After that happened he seemed to be a different person, when we drove up to see him he would call numerous times before we arrived to make sure nothing had happened. In this last year I really thought that things were no different until I heard he had gotten a DUI. I still live in Knoxville and I talk with him about every 3 months or so. I was amazed to hear this! I can not believe he did something this unthoughtful. He could have easily have killed someone else and I know he knows that. I love this guy like a brother but its soo hard to see him make this mistake. I actually think the best thing that could happen to him would be for him to be banned from football permantly. He needs to be humbled.
