He’s a great storyteller. Great to see a guy turn his life around.
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.
Yes I'm glad he made his way back
3rd times a charm...hopefully
I've went from laughing at him thinking he deserves what he got, to liking him and rooting for him. I've been watching a lot of his videos. I wish he'd gotten it together when he was 21, but I guess it's never too late.
🙌🏾🙌🏾
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.
I could see a funny 1/2 hr comedy with Leaf and Manning as buddy cops.
SNL for sure!!
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.
That is a reach. Big reach.
The part about high school drinking makes so much sense about what he went through with drugs and alcohol.
Bro Ryan needed to host his own show. Such a good storyteller.
This is the 4th video I have watched of Ryan….he is really good at this..
I’m genuinely enjoying everything that Ryan leaf has to say. Someone get this man his own show!
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'm from his hometown, and numerous interactions, previously and recently, have given me plenty of reasons to dislike Ryan.
@@hart_406 can you elaborate?
@@hart_406 Please elaborate.
He did get arrested within the last year or so for domestic violence against a woman so there’s that.
@@Eli-ss9gj it was may of 2020...2 years ago plus it sounds like people from his hometown will never accept him because he belittled them so much- which is understandable...i wonder if he ever goes back and how he's treated
Brilliant piece again by Leaf.
As a proud san diegan i thought i could never forgive leaf. But he’s actually become one of my favorite talking heads
"Forgive Leaf" for what? What'd he do to you?
I'm with ya brother , he's won me over again !!!
@@Fakename70 I'm not sure you've been keeping up with current events but he played for the SD Chargers...a once beloved SD Football team. He kinda screwed them over and the fan base and the city. Hence why Ed B made the comment.
@@nelsonc6173
I’m trying really hard to not flame you for attempting to son me with that comment. Maybe you’re in the suburbs and don’t understand what I said. I responded to someone who made a ridiculous comment as if Leaf did something to them PERSONALLY. Unless that person is an owner of the former San Diego Chargers, I highly doubt he did. And, if that person actually is a owner of the former San Diego Chargers, THAT’S who should be seeking forgiveness, not Ryan Leaf. Maybe you’re just not as sick of entitled sports fans as I am.
@@Fakename70
Preach
3:50 "There's no way I could get Doggy Style".
Not if the only thing you bring to a party is a 6 pack of 7up.
There are lessons to be learned from Leaf. I wish he could mentor young QBs. He would be fantastic.
Ryan Leaf should have his own show
Ryan Leaf and Peyton Manning were the two most sought after players in the 1998 draft class. Hard to imagine a wider disparity in success at the pro level.
Indianapolis chose wisely
I'd love to see Ryan and Peyton call a game together or interview each other.
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.
I could listen to Ryan Leaf tell stories all day long.
Totally agreed
"Dr Da-Ray" was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
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
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 knew Terry Crews played football and even was a 3rd string linebacker for the Chargers for some time, but i'm shocked to hear The rock played in the U and even won a national championship as a backup, plus he was the backup for the NFL and college legend Warren Sapp. The Rock is like Forrest Gump of the 90s, he's everywhere.
Go get your tardy slip lol
He was a starter for a sec and guess who was his back up......
Warren Sapp
@@emersonsimpson9099
Please stop lying! No, he wasn't. Dwayne Johnson was *NEVER* a starter and actually wasn't even that good. That was just another lie WWE used to boost the legend of "The Rock"
@@brucebruce7065 He was the starter due to a lack of depth at the position. Warren Sapp even said it in an interview
@@emersonsimpson9099
Listen to the Sapp interview with Shannon Sharpe. He said it, Dwayne was never a starter.
Ryan Leaf needs to have his own show.
good stuff. Ryan needs his own show.
💯
What a great segment! Ryan’s came a long way. Gives all of us that can’t drink like a gentleman or lady hope that we can change
Ryan Leaf's memory is pretty impeccable. Granted there were some big ones in there, but he threw a lot of names around.
Ryan Collins!
I would love to sit down and just talk with Leaf. Sad that most don't see him now and will always view him the way he was years ago.
Pearl Jam’s album was called “Ten”, dedicated to Mookie Blaylock
Named after Blaylock. Not dedicated.
@@Fakename70 yeah, my mistake
A Ryan you the man Dawg keeping it very real like your honesty 👍
Who is this Dr Diray lol
Classic Mama Leaf right there
Ten. Arguably the greatest album of all time.
Really happy Ryan didn't end up a bitter jerk about what happened to him. It's a shame he didn't get it together enough to make it.
Nice to see him rounded out and honest good for him. We were athletes but loved beer in high-school through premier rugby a thirsty bunch after games
i was pleasantly surprised by this nice exchange
No way!!! Ryan Leaf out here showing the world it doesn’t matter how far you fall.... you can always get back up
Does Ryan leaf have his own podcast pretty freaking awesome storyteller
EVERYONE AND THEIR GRANDMOTHER "HAS [THEIR] OWN PODCAST" . WE NEED TO RID THE "AIRWAVES" OF 99.9999% OF THESE SILLY RECORDED LOVE-FESTS . NO ONE NEEDS TO HEAR WHAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY i.e. NOTHING ORIGINAL, TOTALLY DERIVATIVE, LITTERED WITH PHONY BRAVADO YET IN THE END , EMBARRASSINGLY PATHETIC EXERCISES IN SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT
Thank You Rich For these Clips:))
The cd 💿 part was hilarious
It’s not just fun, it’s therapeutic. Great stories! Glad you are doing better.
That pearl jam album is 10.
This is so cool!! What a great communicator!!👍🏾
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.
It’s good to see Ryan Leif in a different light. Had the talent.
I love the Ryan lEaf show!
He's really good.
Don't lie you didn't bring 7-UP. You brought COKE!!!!!
More Ryan Leaf!!!!!!
This is an amazing story 🤣🤣
Huge fan brother !!!!
Rum and Coke… my first drink too.
He’s an incredibly likable guy, it seems like, glad he turned himself around and humbly found himself.
Hahaha I remember when my mom discovered I had the Chronic Album in the house... surprised I'm still alive 🤣🤣
Why would anyone with an I.Q. even slightly north of that possessed by a turnip be listening to that garbage ?
I loved that Miami team.
Great story
Did we also just here the origin of his monsters in that story as well? I do believe so
This man is awesome !!!
2 live crew CD here we come!!!!!!!
Good to see leaf doing well
An episode of NFL Top 10 ranked him as the No. 1 "draft bust" in NFL history.
It’s gotta be Jamarcus Russell
Ryan Leaf is STILL self obsessed. Just, functionally so.
Dr. Daray 🤣
Now this was some fun and interesting content it is great to see Ryan turn a new leaf
I feel like he has come full circle.
I bought him a shot of whiskey at a pub at WSU (Shakers) he kindly declined and said he doesn't drink during the season. I thought this dude has it all together...
We're rooting for you Ryan
Very talented storyteller
Maybe leaf isn’t a hof player but he damn sure could be a hof analyst
I can't stand this guy for who he has been most of his life. That said, I do wish him all the best and I hope he can continue to grow and find happiness. As I suffer from depression and anxiety I understand the struggle.
I want Ryan Leaf to get his own show... Rich, help that boy get a show.
The album was Pearl Jam Ten
That Pearl Jam LP was ’ Ten ’.
Dwayne Johnson and the Miami team ruined Ryan Leaf.
Fox, ESPN, CBS, who ever, they need to hire a team to travel the country and gather, produce, and publish recruiting stories. They'd make bank!!! Stories like the one shared here are incredible and need to be told, so entertaining.
He's very lucky he is not deaf or dead from all the opioids, saw his 30 for 30 and I got very emotional watching it. So glad he saw the light and doing well.
lol epic story
We wore the chronic album out.
Can believe this is the same guy from even 15 years ago. Good for him
I'm glad he recognizes he was a pretty toxic person. That's progress
Leaf is really good at this
07:45 It wasn't a red flag for Mike Price's son...because, ummm, Mike Price was his father. As in Mike "Make It A Double" Price from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
I hate to admit it, but I think Ryan Leaf would make a hell of a NFL Analysis!
Pearl Jam's debut album was Ten. Not "Jeremy" or "Alive" ffs.
Most people would not have gotten off the mat. It's nice to see he didn't get knocked out in life.
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.
Nothing says the rich eisen show quite like a group of middle aged men talking about the old days.
Ha, well if we were a bunch of Twenty-Somethings then what stories would we tell? Jr High tales?? *TJ
Rich might lose his show with Ryan being this amazing!
Growing up in San Diego I hated this guy but gotta say the last couple years between Pat Macfee and other interviews I like him
I wish the Lions would've drafted Moss, in 98. Him and Barry, are my two favorite players of all-time.
Your even below the Vikings
Imagine having to hear what this guys heard for the last 25 years...an entire sports league recognizes you as there biggest mistake...what a nightmare to live through but he came out the other side...not alot of people would have tbh
"... _their_ biggest..."
funny that sapp was a te in high school moved to dt and they wanted to move leaf to te
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.
Shut up. You and your dad are liars. Why would Leaf lie about anything he just said.
*Love the new Ryan Leaf*
It's Rocks under the bridge
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.
0:27 correction, he played for the Washington Redskins
Can't see Rich getting his job back...
This doesn't add up. The Chronic came out in 91. He left college in 98 so he probably got recruited around 93.
What's the axiom? Treat people well on the way up cuz you'll be seeing them again on your way down?
Didn’t he get in trouble with domestic abuse like less than a year ago???
