Greatest DRAFT BUSTS: Leaf on SN’s list

Leaf was 3rd in Heisman Trophy voting in 1997 immediately after throwing 34 touchdown passes for Washington State and main the Cougars to a Rose Bowl visual appearance. He was chosen second general in the 1998 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers, just one select immediately after the Colts picked Peyton Manning.  

Leaf’s rookie season with the Chargers was a catastrophe. The Good Falls, Mont. native threw just two touchdowns to fifteen interceptions in 9 begins.

In 1999, Leaf underwent shoulder operation and was suspended four game titles immediately after a profanity-laced tirade directed at then-basic manager Bobby Beathard.  

He played just 21 game titles for San Diego just before bounding amongst the Buccaneers, Cowboys and Seahawks.  

Leaf’s job finished with just twenty five NFL game titles played. He threw 14 touchdowns and 36 interceptions.

He went to prison in 2012 for violating his Texas probation by breaking into a house in Montana to steal prescription prescription drugs.  

Final summer time, Leaf began working for ESPN as a higher education soccer analyst. He has also worked for the Pac-12 Community.
