He was the linebacker in his rookie season and made only two tackles.

Thanks to his improving performance, Leonard received a contract extension in 2002, worth $17.5 million, further increasing his wealth. For the 2003 season, Leonard was chosen for the Pro-Bowl game, while also made it into All-Pro. He continued to dominate the field, and in 2006 had one of his best seasons with 60 tackles and 13.0 sacks.
