  • Ryan Leaf – The Path from NFL's Biggest Bust to Overcoming Addiction
    This episode is about addiction and overcoming it. Ryan Leaf is here with us today sharing his lessons about overcoming struggle. His story comes to us against the backdrop of an NFL quarterback who had incredibly high expectations placed on him as the #2 NFL draft pick in 1998 and then became known as arguably the biggest bust in NFL history.
    But this podcast is about transformations and the most important transformation that Ryan Leaf has gone through is the fact that he's overcome a drug addiction and is now channeling that effort into raising money for people who want to go to rehab, but can't afford it. 
    If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or mental health please call the National Substance Abuse and Mental Services Helpline: 1-800-662-4537
    Ryan Leaf is a retired American football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for four seasons. He played for the San Diego Chargers and the Dallas Cowboys between 1998 and 2001, and also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seattle Seahawks.
