Ryan Leaf: From NFL Dreams to Sobriety Realities on The Payoff with Pete

My story isn't all about what not to do. When I'm asked by anybody in the recovery world to be of service, I do it.
What happens when a promising NFL career is overshadowed by addiction? Ryan Leaf knows this story all too well. Once a top draft pick, Leaf's life spiraled out of control due to an overwhelming opioid addiction, landing him in prison. But this isn't just a tale of downfall; it's one of redemption and resilience. On this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Ryan Leaf opens up about his tumultuous journey.
He talks candidly about the pressures of professional sports, the stigma surrounding addiction, and his eventual path to sobriety. Now a dedicated advocate for recovery, Ryan shares how he's turned his life around through speaking engagements and his podcast 'Bust - The Ryan Leaf Story'. Whether you're a sports fan or someone seeking hope in the face of addiction, Ryan's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
