CANYON, Texas (AP) - Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has been indicted by a Randall County grand jury on drug and burglary charges.
What a bust Ryan Leaf was no Peyton Manning. But is he the NFL's biggest draft bust? Check our Top 10 draft busts of the last 20 years. The indictment handed up Wednesday in Canyon charged the 33-year-old former San Diego Chargers quarterback and former West Texas A&M quarterbacks coach with one count of burglary to a habitation, seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and one count of delivery of a simulated controlled substance.
The indictment said Leaf presented an incomplete medical history to several physicians between January 2008 and September 2008 to get or try to obtain the painkiller Hydrocodone.
It was not clear whether Leaf had an attorney.
Canyon police Lt. Dale Davis said Leaf is suspected of breaking into a Canyon apartment on Oct. 30 and stealing Hydrocodone, which had been prescribed to an injured football player.
Why oh why? Someone with all the money and talent that many of us dream about and he goes and figures out how to blow it all. What a waste of life.
