Damn Ryan, your "redemption arc" is one of the great stories of football, and I couldn't be more appreciative in how you handled all of it. The fact that when you talk to people who you related to in these times have the highest opinion of you and your stances to all of it nowadays just solidifies that fact. Thank you. From a random german guy who discovered his love for the sport years ago, thank you man. You're the human aspect in all of this, and you know what you're talking about. Wholesome to say the least.
It's only fitting that the guy who became the poster child of draft busts is also the one who ends up in prison with Peyton Manning(his 'rival' of the draft) writing him before completely turning it around to the point that fans are supporting him in his media ventures now. You couldn't write that, it would be too ridiculous, too cliche, your quintessential "...oh c'mon, what are the odds of ALL of that happening..." - but it's actually real life.
Hopefully he can now be a poster child for second chances and the capability we have to right our wrongs & turn our lives around. He's had a few incidents, perfection is unrealistic for anyone let alone with the sort of mental baggage he carries around, but hopefully he has things under control now. His story deserves the 'fairytale ending'.
Peyton is one class act -- incredible quarterback and even more incredible human being. And I am so impressed by the person Ryan has become. Blessings to the both of you.
Not so sure about calling Peyton as a class act. He's a bit of a douche.
Absolutely
This is super legendary, Ryan and Peyton still cool after all these years
I love Ryan’s honesty. I can’t imagine how many people that alone helps, not to mention all the work he does. Not many people would admit they tore up that letter, but he does. It shows the character he has and how serious he is about being a good man. A true role model.
I really enjoy listening to Ryan Leaf's interviews and talks. He is such a cool dude. And I love how he is out there now and not just miserable all these years later. One of the greatest comebacks in sports history in my opinion.
The Manning family really are "the best of us". Incredible humans in all facets life while never losing site of the importance of grace & humility. Thank you for what you do Ryan. As someone also fighting the recovery fight, it puts wind in my sails to see & hear someone with a platform that doesn't shy away from incorporating their story & who they are.
Praying for you.
God luck, man. You got this.
Ryan is proof that you can face your problems and turn your life around. He is an inspiration.
Ryan Leaf could easily have his own show or be a commentator. He's a fantastic speaker.
Damn Ryan makin me tear up. mans a legend
Get Ryan Leaf and Peyton Manning in the Monday Night Football booth.
Now.
Hackett: "How can we help Russ with this transition?"
Peyton: "Give him a catchphrase that he's required to say every time he's in front of a camera"
Hackett: "That's a great idea!!"
Nice to see Ryan Leaf making it.
It's a funny life. It feels like this was the right path for Ryan to take all along. REALLY rate his ability in front of the camera like this and is enjoyable to listen to him for his insights and experiences. Most of all he looks and sounds so comfortable in this field. 'The Ryan Leaf Show', I'd watch it for sure.
I’m very happy that Ryan turned things around and it seems like he’s doing well nowadays, but damn.. I still remember that 1997 college football season when Leaf was a junior at Washington State. Those who weren’t around to witness it have no idea how much talent Leaf had. If he had been just a little bit more mature when he was drafted, he could’ve been something special. I remember a buddy of mine saying that if you could’ve combined Leaf’s arm strength, athleticism and god given talent with Peyton’s work ethic and dedication to the game, the result would’ve been a much better version of Dan Marino, which is scary to think about.
Ryan impressed me every time he fills in for Rich. Intelligent, thoughtful, and honest.
Peyton setting a scholarship for a former teammate also impressed me. What did Peyton write in that letter to Ryan? Doesn’t really matter except that he wrote the letter.
I cry every time I watch a video with Ryan Leaf. A lot of people don’t understand how hard it is to overcome addiction - Most don’t. Truly an inspiration for those who struggle, because we all know someone who does. I’m so happy for him and pray for his every day struggle because as an addict, it’s every day, it doesn’t go away.
Love what Peyton Manning has done to honor Demarayius Thomas.What a gift to DT and the future scholarship winners. Great story about the letter to Ryan Leaf.
Wow this was really emotional to hear what he did at the end. So good to see Ryan is doing well now. More power to you. 🙏🏽
Love what Ryan Leaf brings to the table! Outside of the cool story arch, he is really really good at managing these sorts of conversations. Keep up the great work!
You gotta love getting super into the interview and then getting ear blasted by a Forever 21 ad lol.
Ryan, great comeback my man. Please keep grinding. Proud of you.
I absolutely love Ryan as a host. He's really authentic but fluid.
It’s crazy how far Ryan has come. Didn’t think he would have ever got through his addictions.
I was Born in 1995, Peyton is the reason I love 🏈
This is amazing. I was wondering just the other day if this interview had ever happened.
I really do admire Mr. Leaf now! He is a stand up guy!
Ryan does a great job as a host. Loved seeing the relationship between him and Peyton Manning.
4/29/22, 8:30 p.m.
Thanks Rich and Ryan and the whole group. I enjoy this show.
Ryan is a really good host
He's also a member of Augusta National, that's the most impressive thing.
Remembering the hype before the draft and all the speculation about if it was Ryan or Peyton who would be the first pick and everything that happened since how they were tied together then went in totally opposite directions, this is a pretty cool moment and glad to see both in a great place
If Brady is the GOAT, Peyton is GOAT #2. As a Colts fan, he will forever be the best QB the Colts have had since Unitas.
Marino is the GOAT.
what a story!
Ryan Leaf really did have all the ability in the world- far more athletic than Manning. Just didn’t have it mentally. It’s awesome that he has since pulled it together. The pressure of being a first round draft pick in the NFL is no joke- it has destroyed many.
Ryan - I really like your interviews and you are doing a great job! I wish you and your family all the best!
I could easily see these two hosting a show.
How often are you host? I love Ryan Leaf, his takes for 🔥
I would say once every 2-3 weeks Ryan fills in for Rich.
brady fan but i miss PM. he was so great. brilliant. just a maestro running the show. manning was a gunslinger. brady more a surgeon. both great.
Great interview. Many more blessings to the both of you.
Go, Ryan, go! I’m not one for sports heroes. I guess that’s why I think you’re so awesome!
This was awesome
Dear Ryan, you may look back at ur nfl career as a failure but being one of the best college players in the country and getting drafted number 2 overall is something not a lot of people can say 💯
Great job Ryan as usual!
Today's Ryan Leaf makes me wish he was a solid qb in the NFL. He seems like a great dude
great to see Ryan doing well.....
Crazy
Hey, the Peyton Manning 5 head won 2 Super Bowls and found its way into the hall of fame!
5 head for the hall of fame!
Oh for f#€k sake, can somebody get Leaf his own show already....
One thing I wonder with Ryan is how things could have turned out for him had he been able to go to a healthier organization with a better support system in place than San Diego. The dude definitely had major maturity issues and it’s certainly possible things would’ve happened as they did wherever he had ended up going but it is an interesting what if thing just to think on that hypothetical. Indy was a healthier landing spot for Peyton that committed to him and allowing him to struggle for awhile without jumping ship on him when he had struggles as all young QBs are going to have in those early years. Sure he demonstrated more potential in the struggles the first year but they stick with him through the whole thing despite throwing more interceptions than TDs and it paid off. Obviously a lot of that also had to do with his work ethic and attitude that encouraged sticking with him while Leaf had some abysmal games and a horrible attitude that probably made them hop off quickly like they did.
But when you look back they’d throw him to the wolves and then when he played badly they’d bench him and throw out somebody else to play badly until they got sick of the replacement playing badly where they toss Leaf back in again. Handling a young QB with preexisting attitude issues like that guarantees failure it seems. And while he was still bad his third season after the injury season the numbers were all improved over the rookie year so who knows what can happen if you truly commit and let him work things out. And then they sent him away and drafted Brees.
Then despite Bree’s playing fairly well they did the same thing with him in drafting Eli and landing with Rivers. They didn’t have any patience to let a guy struggle through to success and luckily rivers worked for them. But in hindsight Eli made a good call by pushing to go to NY. All in all maybe leaf was doomed but I’ll always wonder what would’ve been in a better environment that committed to his development with a staff that could’ve helped with his maturity. We saw first hand with Lawrence how big of a difference a healthy staff can make for a guy so I do wonder what that could’ve done for a guy like Leaf. Sometimes think it gets ignored that a player may do themselves no favors but being in a position to potentially succeed is also a major thing that gets overlooked a ton when labeling people as busts
This is cool Ryan leaf and Peyton Manning chatting very cool
This is a beautiful moment
Hated Ryan Leaf in the 90s, thought he was entitled, selfish, and full of himself. But the more I see him now, the more I like him and I really hope he gets his own show. I love these times when he covers for Rich.
Wow. Peyton may be a legend but Ryan is a giant.
Look at Ryan's hands... jesus christ.
Ryan leaf your good this stuff.
This is great.
I throw, you catch. It's not that hard alright?
Ryan might not be a good nfl player but he’s a good person that more important
Peyton remembers draft day thinking how the hell is this guy my competition
Ryan Leaf st the time was the high ceiling abilities guy to Peyton being the reliable option who wasn’t flashy but had the work ethic and attitude
Enjoy ryan hosting way more than rich.
