Ryan Leaf can fall even farther

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Sometimes you watch the NFL and just wish you had some of that talent. What would it be like to have enough talent and size to play in the NFL?

Ryan Leaf had talent and size, but squandered it all. Leaf was the number two pick in the draft by the San Diego Chargers back in 1998. The number one was Peyton Manning by the Colts.

Leaf turned out to be the biggest bust in NFL draft history.

Now he is a legal drug addict. That is right. Legal drug addict. You would be surprised how many of them there are in the world today. It is just too easy to get hard drugs that are legal.

Ryan Leaf has a need for legal drugs

Leaf, 33, recently has been in a drug rehab in British Columbia, according to the Randall County, Texas, district attorney’s office. Last November, amid reports that he asked a player for a pain pill to help an old wrist injury, Leaf was placed on leave from his assistant coaching job at West Texas A&M.

“We think the evidence will show that he obtained drugs in various ways from various individuals or by using prescriptions that were not his,” Randall County District Attorney James Farren said Thursday by phone. source

Now Ryan Leaf is even in more trouble.

Former Chargers quarterback Ryan Leaf has been indicted on drug and burglary charges in Texas as part of an ongoing grand jury investigation into his use of prescription medication.

Police in Canyon, Texas, believe he broke into an apartment in Canyon on Oct. 30 and stole an unknown quantity of Hydrocodone, according to the Amarillo Globe-News. The drug had been prescribed to an injured player living there, Canyon police Lt. Dale Davis told the newspaper.

“There were signs of a forced entry,” Davis said. “A window in the back of the home was (damaged).”
