When quarterback Tom Flacco left Rutgers as a graduate transfer for Towson ahead of the 2018 season, he immediately established a special connection with senior receiver Shane Leatherbury -- and that connection is responsible for a chunk of Towson's offensive production this year.
Flacco has thrown for 2,617 yards with 20 touchdowns and four interceptions, while Leatherbury has racked up 650 yards receiving and has hauled in 11 touchdowns. A year ago, Leatherbury caught 67 passes for 885 yards and seven scores.
"The summer [Flacco] got here, we were just throwing and catching whenever he could and whenever he needed somebody to throw to, I was there with him," Leatherbury said on Glenn Clark Radio Nov. 20. "... We're roommates, so we can pretty much watch film and I can figure out what he wants and he can figure out what I'm thinking."
