Early life and education[edit]
LeBlanc was born on November 5, 1962, in Panama City, Florida. He attended Shawnee Mission South High School in Overland Park, Kansas, graduating in c. 1983. He first played college football for Coffeyville Community College, spending the 1983 and 1984 seasons there before transferring to Elon University. He played two years there, from 1985 to 1986, at linebacker, before graduating in 1987.[1]
Professional career[edit]
After going unselected in the 1987 NFL Draft, LeBlanc was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys, only to be released when he failed a physical test.[2]
LeBlanc moved to the Canadian Football League (CFL) later in the year, being signed by the Calgary Stampeders to their practice roster on August 14.[3]
He left the Stampeders during the 1987 NFL strike to be signed by the Buffalo Bills. He was named starter for their game against the Indianapolis Colts, and made his professional debut in the 47–6 loss.[4] He appeared in a total of three games, each as a starter, before being released.[5]
LeBlanc was signed by the New York Jets in 1988, but was placed on season-ending injured reserve.[6]
