Javon Leake 2020 NFL Draft Profile<\/h2>\n

Javon Leake<\/a> <\/strong>runs with a \u201csmaller\u201d frame than what his height and weight might suggest, and because of that he never was a prototype, all-downs back at Maryland. He was used as an outside back, where his speed and agility at the second level blew defenses away, averaging 7.2 yards per carry in his final season. After being primarily a special team\u2019s player in 2018, receiving a mere 34 handoffs for 309 yards, he would receive 102 carries in 2019, while continuing to excel on kick returns. In that specialty, he averaged 26.8 yards per return and score two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Leake arrived at Maryland from Page High School in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he exploded for 3,700 rushing yards through his junior and senior seasons. Despite only 155 carries during his tenure at Maryland, that explosiveness was good enough to notch him an honourable mention for All-Big Ten Honours and the Return Specialist of the year.<\/p>\n
