I think I'd been searching for that feeling for a long time, the feeling of not feeling anything.
Ever wondered what happens when a top NFL draft pick's life takes an unexpected turn? Ryan Leaf, once a promising quarterback, found his career derailed by opioid addiction, landing him in prison. But that's not where his story ends. In this compelling episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', Ryan opens up about his tumultuous journey from the heights of football fame to the depths of addiction and his inspiring path to recovery.
He candidly discusses the immense pressure of being a high draft pick, the struggles with substance abuse that ensued, and how he ultimately found his way to sobriety. Now a college football analyst for ESPN and a dedicated advocate for recovery, Ryan shares how he's using his experiences to help others through speaking engagements and his new podcast, 'Bust - The Ryan Leaf Story'.
Tune in to hear about the power of resilience, the importance of service in recovery, and how Ryan is redefining his legacy.
