Crazy how much Leaf has turned his life around, good for him.

@David Iezzi he turned over a new leaf

Some could say he turned a new Leaf.

Oh yeah, he's all turned around. I would not question his predictions. It's just better to not disagree with this guy. Yeah, he's turned over a new leaf.

The more I see Ryan Leaf has turned his life around, the better I like him. He has taken accountability for what he did when he was playing. People need to learn from their mistakes.

Listen to his podcast bust

I think part of it is also growing up. A lot of 21 year olds handed big money and celebrity are often not fully prepared for it at that age

The more I see Ryan Leaf the more impressed I am by his down to earth takes. We need more of him.

Ryan Leaf is so good as a pundit. He was amazing filling in for Rich Eisen on his show.

I love seeing Ryan Leaf, and the FACT that he has come back...That says everything you want to know about him...Love ya Big Guy...

I am loving the Ryan Leaf Redemption Arc.

Hot damn, 62 different starting QBs? Makes the fact that Geno started 100% of his snaps last season more impressive

I’m so stoked to see R. Leaf get a second chance at redeeming his name in the NFL circle and not just being known as a joke for the rest of time.

was a real pos in the nfl.. got a long way to go to redemption

I love Ryan Leaf's redemption arc. His self-awareness and humility is very refreshing.

always great to here/see Ryan Leaf around the nfl draft time, considering the rollercoaster of a life hes had. Very insightful and seems to have found his place in broadcasting/commentating

I love listening to Ryan. There are many detractors who want to point at his failures and dismiss him. People aren''t failures because they have failed. They are failures when they don't learn from them. Ryan has dealt with his crap. If you listen to him long enough, you will see a broken man who has risen from his fall and acknowledged his shortcomings. He has incredible insight into the game, the and the psychological challenges facing young players today and is really good at articulating his rationale. I want to see more of this man.

Damn, Ryan Leaf got awesome over the years. I love this segment. Candid, real, insightful, stats, guy has everything you want

So many people could learn from Ryan Leaf!

Ryan Leaf is the MAN !!! Amazing what growing up does for a person!

Ryan obviously moved east for a reason. I know he has a podcast, but someone is going to nab him for a big show and contract. I really admire him, and he is very well spoken. He's a QB analyst for the thinking man, and he's BEEN there. I'm a fan and love the way he took control of his life again. All the best, Ryan.

The little poke at himself shows how far Ryan Leaf has come as a man. Good to see his rebound

This is so nice 👍! To have Ryan Leaf BACK in The NFL for ANY REASON is 👍!! He did a lot for underprivileged men "while away"!! He grew up to be a mentor & inspired others!

So genuine and spot on. RL is one of my favorite Football personalities.

Ryan brings a bit of levity and logic to this craziness I love his analysis of the kid from Florida and Kentucky.

Im impressed with Leaf.....he seems like he would be a great commentator, mentor or even coach' you can learn alot from a guy who lost everything only to be reborn'

So happy Ryan got his life together! What an amazing example of perseverance drug addiction is no joke!

Man how different the NFL world would be if the Ryan Leaf of today was back in 1998. He had the talent but like he said the maturity wasn't there. I'm glad it didn't make him bitter. Hope he has sucess.

Ryan Leaf is good at his job. I look forward to more from him

His take on Anthony Richardson is without a doubt the best take I’ve heard anyone in the media have. He hit the nail on the head! I wish more people would listen to him about something he clearly knows about first hand!

@Dr Doom no. He doesn’t know everything. And no one can predict the future. But everything he said is true. The tape is awful. Dozens of nfl GM’s don’t have a first round grade on this kid cause they shouldn’t. But teams at the top are desperate and that is where people are put into situations to fail. And if Richardson is asked to start from day 1. He will fail.

yes because he knows everything. He's articulate but no one knows how these prospects will turn out.

Always love seeing Ryan Leaf on here

I’ve had this feeling for awhile that Levis and Richardson are not top 5 pick caliber but both the media and the quarterback neediness of teams in those picks, they would be probably second half of the first round or later. I think they could turn out to be good picks, but I think there is a lot of uncertainty

Ryan nailed it. Anthony Richardson needs a place where he can come along slowly.

Love hearing from Ryan Leaf.

Leaf could have been one of the greats had it not been for his own issues and a ton of pressure.

I f-ing love Ryan Leaf as an analyst! Top notch insight.

So awesome to see Ryan leaf speak about himself then , #props

If I was Mike White, the Jets should’ve made me the starter. I understand him wanting to leave. He left everything on the field for them and was way better than Zach Wilson

@Untapped Potenial sucks to see him go as a jets fan, he was probably one of the best backups in the league, aside from maybe Brissett and the whole SF circus. Hope he sees success (but not too much success, you’ll never catch me dead wishing the Fins well)

@Noctem obviously you’re right technically 😂 I just thought it was a little dirty by the jets but business is business. Now he can be a high paid backup in Miami and enjoy the beach

@Untapped Potenial that was some grit I’ll agree, but that might have just been too little too late

@Noctem I agree but I just think he showed them a lot of heart and talent and determination, watching him play the game Vs Buffalo late last year really sold me on him

He was still 1-3 as a starter. Mike wasn’t necessarily bad, but you can tell that Zach was playing at his floor and Mike was playing closer to his ceiling

Mike White wanted out on the jets? Interesting

Sick to see him looking healthy and still doing something with football! Kind of hilarious to have him talking about first round draft picks though lololol.

I mean. He clearly has first hand experience and these kids should listen to what he has to say. Clearly he’s shown growth and maturity he lacked back then and sometimes learning what not to do is just as important as learning what to do. I thought his analysis of Anthony Richardson was spot on unlike most of the national media.

Let's see more of Ryan Leaf

Hey man ryan leaf is good in the booth hopefully he blows up 🤝

He fills in on the Rich Eisen show on occasion and he's fantastic there too

Ryan Leaf talk on Pivot Podcast was a awesome listen, beginning to end good interview👌

i LOVE the last 2 min of this, ryan leaf seems great

Ryan Leaf may not have been a legend QB but he didn't say woe is me. That experience must have humbled him greatly to the point of ultimate reflection.

Red zone alert he wasn't able to be used in CIN as a red zone threat because he had so many other great weapons around him but in CAR he will be a big threat in the red zone and a security blanket on third down for our young rookie QB I love it here in CAR CAR 🚨🚨🚨

Damn I can't believe how many qbs got hurt last year especially the way the refs protected them

I like his development as a human. That said, Contract 1A was HOF, Contract 1B was Hall of Bust. Leaf must thank the heavens for Zach Wilson.

Jamarcus Russell came first and was far worse as well as a more can't miss prospect. The guy was 6'6" had 70% completion rating at LSU and had a rocket launcher for an arm. Literally the only thing that held back Russell was Russell. Leaf was something similar (although not the same athlete of course). He had the talent but he didn't have the right mentality same as Russell.

Leaf knows a bust when he sees one, real knows real.

With the Ryan leaf is in the booth and broadcasting, makes me wanna see Jamarcus Russell and Johnny manziel start a podcast together lol

This dude is real talk. No bullshit

Great points Leaf!

Thank you Ryan Leaf for your incite that was good to hear from ya

I would listen to Ryan. He will tell you not what to do as a new quarterback.

Fr he’s the master at this analysis

Richardson to Seattle is my ideal spot for him. Sit behind Geno for a year and take the league by storm in year two.

Props to Ryan

Ryan Leaf as an Analyst is beating it up

Did you try doing the cash hack program yet I did cash hack

the NFL needs to expand the Rosters now with 17 games.

Proud of leaf 🍁 good job dude

Ryan's a good man

:07 look at that team featured on the NFL pinball machine. its gonna be a good year!

What if we put the current Ryan leaf brain into his 21 years old body? :)

The number of quarterbacks started just goes to show that the draft is not a sure thing. Because they talk about it every year that there’s four or five franchise quarterbacks if that was the case no team would need a quarterback.

"At least 20% of them will become addicted to prescription drugs" -Ryan Leaf

Just awesome stuff from Leaf here

just some days back and I got paid $20,000 in just some hours

Did you try doing the cash hack program yet I did cash hack

Stroud #1 pick.

Ryan Leaf surprised me in this segment. I agree with him.

Crazy how everyone talks about now but now how bad Ryan was as a player and a QB. Protect at all cost ig 🤷🏼‍♂️

This man said 1a, 1b....🤣🤣 That agent is a legend. Geesh

go dig up some old media from 97-98. leaf was seriously debated over manning for the number 1 pick, like there was close to an even split of people thinking so.

Peyton Manning's passer rating averaged 17% higher than the league average passer rating over his career. You know who averaged 15% better than the league average over his career? Tom Brady. Peyton Manning during his best years outperformed Tom Brady and everyone knew it. Tom just had a better team around him. Peyton was a once in a lifetime pick. His draft stock was through the roof. He was perfect across the board. Ryan Leaf having a strong ass arm wasn't even relevant. No team, no matter who had the #1 overall pick or how deep their QB room was, would even consider passing up the arguable GOAT draft pick that was Peyton Manning. Tom Brady was a "he probably will work out" pick. Manning was a "he's going to work out, nobody can doubt it, take him no matter what, he's the best draft pick we've ever seen or ever will see" draft pick.

Back then it was true. I thought Leaf had a stronger arm.

Kinda weird Ryan Leaf gets so many 2nd chances…

Waiting for "he reminds me of me" on one of these prospects

I like leaf, but I agree with his assessments I liked hendon over Richardson. I hope these guys get to good teams OR try the XFL

Good to see Leaf in the analyst chair — dude knows his 💩

How many story arcs will leaf have

Leaf is right about Richardson, but not for his reason. Richardson's completion percentage absolutely reeks in the low 50's percent. That's in college, folks, where future undrafted WRs can get open on a regular basis. The NFL demands a QB with almost supernatural passing talent. That's like the number one requirement. Bernie Kosar was a lousy athlete, but a great passer. Star in the NFL. Meanwhile, the league has seen tons of great athletes fail at QB because they just couldn't complete enough passes. Sad to say it looks like Richardson is another one of those guys. If you don't show that talent by the time you reach college, it ain't gonna happen.

@Formula Energy of course athleticism matters. The days of statues back there who can’t run and escape the pocket are long gone. You’re right. You want your guy to be able to move around and have some athleticism. For sure. But that can’t be it. They still have to be able to throw the ball. With touch. With accuracy. 3 steps and rip. 5 steps and rip. Read a defense. Go through progressions. Identify the coverage at the line of scrimmage. Athleticism is just one piece of the pie. Richardson sure. He’s got the best piece of the athleticism pie. But his piece of everything else leave a lot to be desired that can’t be made up with athleticism. Lamar can throw. He has touch. He has a long ball. He completed over 60% of his throws in college. Made his team better and won a heisman. Cam completed 64% of his passes in college. Took an 8-5 team the year prior on an undefeated run to the national championship and won. The team went 8-5 again the next year. He made everyone around him better. Richardson struggled. Florida had a losing record last year. His completion percentage of 53.8 would be the worst of a first round qb in over 30 years. Athleticism can’t make up for that.

The NFL has changed a lot since Bernie Kosar's time. We have 275lb defensive ends running 4.3 Forty's now, and I say this is the reason you need an athlete at QB today because few offensive linemen can keep up with that kind of a defensive end, and it is the reason Joe Burrow has not won a Superbowl yet, as his athletic ability is wanting yet Patrick Mahomes has won Superbowls in a large part due to his ability to get off and run.

@Roshan yep. Watched him miss throws constantly. His accuracy is atrocious and if he’s drafted in round 1 his completion percentage would be the lowest by any first round pick in the last 30 years. Let that sink in. Leaf is 100% correct. If Richardson is a week 1 starter for any team this year it will be a complete disaster.

He hasn’t shown the talent at college? Did you watch him at all? It’s obvious he has talent he just needs a proper coach to develop.

I think the chargers should sign him see if they can get their moneys worth....he can run and get the tee on kick offs.

That was deep Ryan

Colts fan - If it ain't CJ stroud or Bryce Young, I don't want anyone

Don't forget Zach Wilson n Mitch trubisky

God if it werent for Kyle I’d watch this 24/7 kyles always got the douchiest take

@Wack Zellard hell yeah 😎

@Nates PNW Adventures I do love me some Jim Rome

Kyle is my favorite lol. Loved him on the Jim Rome show. He is awesome 😎

Maybe it isn't a good idea for Ryan Leaf to predict where qbs are going...

Hopefully, all the current prospects will have better careers than Ryan Leaf. I mean really....it's kinda like Harding rating Presidental candidates

as much as ryan leaf has turned his life around and im rooting for him but i would never take QB analysis from him lol

@6:06 thank you Ryan Leaf for the Richardson comments.

This was fire

Spitting fire on Richardson

And nothing but the truth! Nice to see someone actually tell it like it is. Ain’t no way this kid should go in round one let alone the top 4 or 5 picks. But that’s the way the position works. Good to hear someone talk about it who’s been through it.

Leaf was speaking the truth!!! It’s okay to wait your turn and learn.

just some days back and I got paid $20,000 in just some hours

Did you try doing the cash hack program yet I did cash hack

Personally… i like the 5-10 QBs wayyyy more then Levis and richardson… theres are gonna be some sleepers there

What about your second contract? How much more did The Sheriff get?

I wouldn’t want a ego driven proud leader as my QB. One who is confident in himself is different than egotistically proud boastful. NO! I’d rather go to a good or better team. That’s better than go high to a bad team. How well is Fields doing. And that not him. It’s the team.

Hard to argue against beach and babes with a 22 year old kid.

Stroud to Panthers Richardson to Texans Young to Colts Levis to Raiders

CJ is the best QB coming out

Football IQ. .score...20

Richardson and Levis should not be drafted in round one, even though we know they will be.

Exactly I’ve been saying this it’s cj stroud

So the only prediction was pick 1&2 and no prediction for the other 3 potential FRPs. Way to Leaf it, Ryan.

Bryce Young is faster and more accurate I don’t understand why he’s not the clear #1 pick

They definitely takin Cj number one they jus signed andy dalton as a bac up Richardson don’t even have the same play style of dalton so it’s definitely Cj

If they're shooting for size, Levis is best option. Not to mention arm strength (which u can't coach that Levis has by far)-Those throws u see CJ stepping into to make Levis makes with a flick of the wrist.

68 different QBs starting last year? Means the level is going down.

Come on. Bryce has been in the NFL for three years now. We all know that most NFL draft picks come out of the sec. Better career in collage? Bryce period.

I love how Ryan Leaf has (finally) acquired some humility and a sense of humor about his situation. I wonder what would have happened if Ryan had been allowed to develop, and mature before being thrown into the mix? Yes, he was a bust, BUT, why was he a bust? Could a coach like Andy Reid have developed him into a superstar?

Bryce young is short just like Doug flutey he is only 1 inch taller than Doug was

Why we always hear from the former QB bust.. its amazing! Chris Simms, RG3,Carr,Olovsky,Danny Kanell, Hasselbeck,this guy Leaf...the list goes on & on...😂

Hey did you know that Leaf turned his life around
