Former San Diego Chargers quarterback Ryan Leaf stopped by the Optometry Practice. The end of the year visit consisted of an eye exam and eyewear.
Ryan was a standout at Washington State which led to him being selected as the second overall pick in the 1998 NFL draft. He was second only to Peyton Manning. Ryan didn’t live up to the hype as a top draft pick and is considered one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history.
After Football, Ryan’s life got a bit out of control with a substance abuse issue which ultimately led to him serving time in jail. He has since turned his life around and is now helping other individuals battle their own addiction issues. Ryan is currently a Transcend program ambassador, an organization dedicated to helping people live sober lives.
Even though Ryan is one of the biggest busts in NFL history, it was still nice having him at the office and I want to wish him the best with Transcend. You can read more about Ryan’s current organization by clicking on the link below.
