With the 236th-overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the Chargers selected defensive back Deane Leonard out of Ole Miss.
The team has already taken a pair of secondary members earlier in the draft with JT Woods (third) and Ja’Sir Taylor (sixth) but that didn’t stop them from getting another defender with sub-4.40 speed. Leonard recorded a 4.39 in the forty at Ole Miss’ pro day to go with a 4.18 shuttle and 33-inc vertical.
Leonard spent just two seasons with the Rebels where he was a full-time starter for just his final season in 2021.
