Former NFL QB, current analyst and well known NFL Draft bust, Ryan Leaf steps in for Dan Patrick today while DP is filming his scenes for Happy Gilmore 2. He gets emotional remembering his first interview with DP after he got out of jail in 2016, a moment that began the resurrection of his public image.

Ryan Leaf: “About a year and two months after I had been out (of jail) in 2016, Super Bowl in San Francisco, Pauley (Pabst) ran into me in a hotel on my way to get a medical exam that the NFLPA was putting on, and he just (said), ‘Hey, no pressure or anything. Would you like to come on, talk about life and...?’ And I did. I talked to a lot of people on whether I should do it or not, and I did. And I walked on the set and I sat down, and me and Dan just had a conversation. And it literally was the catalyst for where I’m at now; publicly, broadcasting-wise, everything like that because I was not interested in any of that. I just wanted to disappear. I wanted to go work and be of service to others, and no one ever to see me again. But as we found out, that doesn’t happen. My name is synonymous with an NFL bust.”
