Former #2 overall NFL Draft pick Ryan Leaf -- the only first-round pick from Montana! -- joins Trey for a wide-ranging conversation that feels prescient the week after the 2021 Draft.
First they discuss the buildup to being 2nd pick in the 1998 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers, what it was like to be in a Heisman Trophy finalist class with Charles Woodson, Peyton Manning and Randy Moss, his ups and downs as a rookie QB, and how the Manning-Leaf debate played out before the draft. And speaking of Manning, how did a scheduling snafu at the NFL Combine potentially change the course of NFL history?
Then he gives his take on his struggles as an NFL quarterback on the field along with his battles off the field, including his infamous locker room tirade with a reporter, the end of his career and subsequent trials with mental health, including his battle with addiction. Ryan opens up about his time in prison, what he and Peyton Manning talk about today and how he's flourishing in his broadcasting career and, most importantly, giving back.
