Old Friend Cre’Von LeBlanc Just Sealed the XFL Title Game With an Interception (VIDEO)

Say what you want about Ryan Pace, but the former Bears GM had a knack for unearthing defensive players who had a feel for making big plays.

Cre’Von LeBlanc hasn’t played for the Bears in a while, but the one-time Chicago corner is still making things happen. And on the biggest of stages. His interception just sealed a win for the Arlington Renegades in the XFL title game:

I don’t know what’s next for LeBlanc. But making a splash play in a championship game is the kind of thing that might catch someone’s eye in the NFL. It wouldn’t shock me to see LeBlanc parlay that moment into another opportunity in The Show.
