Riley Leonard, the starting Quarterback for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, started the first quarter for the American Team at the Senior Bowl, completing 6 passes on 7 attempts and turned that into 54 yards.

Leonard completed 66.6-percent of his passes during the 2024 season, throwing 17 passing TDs and 6 Ints. However, it was Leonard’s mobility that set him apart from other QBs– ranking no. 4 with 15 Rush TDs, no. 10 with 42 scrambles, and no. 13 with 799 rush yards and an 83.2 PFF Rush grade.

Leonard’s stock dropped post-Senior Bowl, as he’s now likely to be a 6th round pick or later, per nflmockdraftdatabase.com.  Leonard gives Skylar Thompson vibes– late round QB with mobility. Leonard is unlikely to make much noise at the NFL level.
