Classic Sports Card of The Day

98toppsleaf

1998 Topps football card of former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf, who is considered one of the biggest busts in the history of the league’s college player draft. Picked second overall by the San Diego Chargers in the 1998 draft, Leaf never measured up to the expectations of a high pick, flaming out with the Chargers after three unimpressive seasons marked by poor play and a terrible attitude. He hung around the league for a couple more years as a backup, but never amounted to much. After his playing days, his life didn’t turn out much better, as it was marred by various arrests and prison terms for incidents involving drugs and burglary.
