I think he does this so well because in recovery programs they teach you that you have to be 100% honest with yourself. He was forced to remember all these things with a sober mind, and therefore sees these memories through a different lens. But it is great to see the transformation the man has made.

Ryan Leaf playing for Miami would’ve been an Documentary by itself

Dang Ryan Leaf is flourishing now. Good for him.

I’m glad to see Ryan has turned his life around. I hope he finds success at whatever he decides to do.

If ryan leaf had some where close to this level of maturity while he was in the league, he would have been a hall of famer

Yea, I was thinking something similar. He at least wouldn’t have been one of the biggest draft busts of all-time. Idk about HoFer, but I think he could’ve been really good, like a pro bowl QB. But then that would change a whole lotta things. Like SD likely would’ve never drafted LT or Drew Brees a few years later. A few years after that they wouldn’t be the team getting snubbed by Eli Manning who basically refused to play for them and forced them to trade him to the NYG for Philip Rivers.

The part about high school drinking makes so much sense about what he went through with drugs and alcohol.

I’m genuinely enjoying everything that Ryan leaf has to say. Someone get this man his own show!

This is the 4th video I have watched of Ryan….he is really good at this..

Dude...Leaf is hilarious. How can you not like this guy now? Whatever he went thru has made him a better human being. Who wouldn't want to spend some time with this guy?

I saw Leaf face down - passed out back when he was up for the Heisman trophy - Midtown NYC bar - fully passed out. Huge guy also -

I am glad he is talking like this. This changes it from a cautionary tale to a tale of reality. What in a young person might go through when through when 1st confronted with the big city and the big city attitudes. I applaud his candor

My buddy Kevin told me that he ran into Kerry Collins at a Pearl Jam concert and he was drunk as hell the night before a Sunday game. Anyway, he said that he wished he would've bet against the Carolina Panthers knowing what he knew lol. I guess these stories that Ryan discusses made me think of that story.

Ryan Leaf needs to have his own show.

It’s not just fun, it’s therapeutic. Great stories! Glad you are doing better.

as a charger fan living in san diego at the time of ryan leaf, it's inspiring to see how he has turned things around.

Guy at least had great taste in music. Two of the best CDs in their genre of all time!! Leaf copping Ten is the only smart decision he made for over a decade n half.

funny that sapp was a te in high school moved to dt and they wanted to move leaf to te

There's a lot of stuff Ryan Leaf did but didn't know about it for decades. He was also drafted 2nd overall and was starting QB for the Chargers, and had no idea about that until decades later.

Dwayne Johnson and the Miami team ruined Ryan Leaf.

I've conferred with my Dad, as we both were born and raised in Great Falls, MT as well, and we agree that about 50% of this is bullshit. Ryan got an MIP in high school, so there's no way Miami was his first time drinking. Also, he was a preppy jock, had to have the nicest clothes, so the jean shorts and flannel thing is hard to believe.
