Ryan Leaf a Wanted Man in Texas

Filed Under: Chargers, NFL Police Blotter
Ryan Leaf, the former No. 2 overall pick of the San Diego Chargers who has come to symbolize the term "draft bust," now has much bigger problems off the field than he ever had on it.
Texas law enforcement officials say an arrest warrant was issued for Leaf on May 20, and Leaf agreed to turn himself in on drug and burglary charges. But he failed to do so, and he is now a wanted man.
Randall County prosecutor Lacy Miller told the San Diego Union-Tribune:
"At one point he said he was going to turn himself in. He hasn't turned himself in yet, and if he gets picked up he's going to be arrested. If he gets picked up out of our jurisdiction, then we will extradite him or use whatever means we have to get him back. Right now he is a wanted individual."
After his NFL career ended, Leaf went into coaching and said in his rare interviews that he was at peace with his place in life. But Leaf was fired by the West Texas A&M athletic department after allegedly asking a student-athlete for a pain pill, and he was also accused of breaking into an apartment to steal Hydrocodone. He has reportedly spent time in drug rehab.
Leaf started 18 games in two seasons for the Chargers and also played briefly for the Cowboys. He finished his career with 3,666 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and 36 interceptions
