Leon O’Neal left the Texas A&M football program after the 2021 season after serving as a linchpin in the Aggies secondary for several years. His first stop after college was as an undrafted free agent with the San Francisco 49ers, before he was released during training camp. He originally reverted to the 49ers injured reserve but was released with an injury settlement a few days later.
For his next stop, Leon will be looking further north. Way further, as he has signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian football league.
The Roughriders finished the 2022 season on a tough note, losing 7 games in a row, and finishing 6-12 on the year.
