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.
