Taking the path less traveled and finding success at the end of the trail is nothing new for former Towson wide receiver Shane Leatherbury, and he’s going to have to take a similar path to the NFL.
Leatherbury played for the Tigers from 2017-2019, racking up 149 catches for 1,848 yards and 21 touchdowns after initially walking onto Towson and playing at Division II Seton Hill in 2015. Now, after three highly productive seasons in suburban Baltimore, he’s trying to make the jump from the FCS to NFL.
And because of restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Leatherbury is attempting to make the jump without the help of a pro day.
“I understand a little struggle. If things don’t go my way, I’m not going to just give up and just fold my cards,” Leatherbury said on Glenn Clark Radio March 25. “I’m going to keep playing and keep going. That’s how I got to where I’m at, so I’m not just going to give up if one thing goes wrong.”
