Over the last few games, Leonard Floyd has started to prove that he was worth trading up one slot to get him in the 2016 NFL draft. He has shown amazing quickness and athleticism and has been constantly in the backfield the last few games.

He’s tallied 4.5 sacks, forced a fumble and even found his way into the end zone in the last three games. Floyd will make a couple impact plays again, including sacking Eli Manning. If Floyd continues to play like this, he might even find himself as the defensive rookie of the year and poised to become a significant impact player for years to come.
