Ryan Leaf was selected by the San Diego Chargers as the second overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft after Peyton Manning, but his career was short and interrupted by poor play, bad behavior, and injuries, and struggled with his work ethic and ability to stay focused. He would later have legal troubles involving drugs beginning in 2010, after a Texas judge sentenced him to 10 years probation. Two years later, Leaf pleaded guilty to felony burglary and drug possession in Montana. After a suspended sentence with a stint in drug rehabilitation, Leaf began serving a seven-year sentence in state prison in December 2012. In 2014, Leaf was sentenced to five years in prison for breaking into a home in Montana to steal prescription drugs, which violated his Texas probation. He was released from prison on December 3, 2014
