The Biggest Bust in NFL History 

One thing that seems to be forgotten was that San Diego and Arizona swapped picks. San Diego got Arizona's #2 pick while Arizona got San Diego's #3 pick. Arizona took Defensive End Andre Wadsworth #3 overall(One spot ahead of NFL Hall of Famer and Heisman Winner Charles Woodson). Wadsworth had an injury riddled 3 season career, recording just 5 sacks. If it wasn't for the epic bust that was Ryan Leaf, Andre Wadsworth might have been the biggest miss in the draft.

bro you literally my favorite football creator

It’s admirable to see the work Leaf put into turning his life around. He’s an outstanding public speaker and analyst. He’s even guest-hosted Rich Eisen’s show a few times!

Ryan Leaf told the story himself on The Player's Tribune a few years back. He got so used to being portrayed as the "bad boy" that he adopted the persona, and didn't realize he had actually become a bad person until he spoke to a man in prison who had killed someone while driving drunk. After that, he turned his life around, and now he helps other people not to make his mistakes.

I was living in SD at that time and yeah it was a mess. Thankfully he has really turned it around and I commend him for that. Well done!

Easily one of the biggest busts in NFL history but I’m glad he’s found his redemption. Another banger of a video Lauren!

Omfg congrats on 100k Lauren. I don't normally leave comments on videos, just show up in streams during football season, but I remember you setting that goal last year and it's awesome that you're finally there!

Congrats on 100K, and Ryan's rise, fall, redemption is such an absolutely amazing journey and the fact he has done his own podcast, just him, talking for hours and hours and going through everything is amazing. Are you plannning on covering Tony Mandarich at some point as well, he was arguably just as big, if not a bigger, bust than Leaf and Russell, and not a QB to boot. The sad thing is for Ryan, he had talent, but no maturity at all and i doubt any team could have fixed that at all.if EDIT: Ryan himself has said he told the Colts not to draft him because he did not want to play for them and be in Indiana as well, which helped swing the vote for Manning though. Also huh, did not know Leaf was a dual sport athlete, neat.

Great video Lauren are you looking forward to the NFL draft this year 😊

Congrats on 100k subscribers. Hope you get your plaque

Love These Informative Stories:Great job, Lauren!!!

I love you Lauren you are my #1 tremendous favorite football creator like no other for real for real

Great video! This was a great watch! I enjoyed watching this! Jamarcus Russell was an awfully big draft bust too.

Wow great job lauren, research on this vid is great! leaf sure was a headcase too. Chargers aquired harbaugh in 1999 right? when leaf injured his shoulder?

Great content as usual!

Another great video!

Great video

For those who think Jamarcus Russell was a worse bust than Leaf consider this. Russell actually LEADS Leaf in every single offensive stat, including the advanced ones.

Awesome video

Cant wait to watch!!!

I love it Lauren good work I really enjoyed this video how do you know all this stuff I’m just curious?

You earned a subscriber

In the same draft there was another qb taken in the sixth round. It was Matt Hasselbeck. He would have a long career. Maybe not a hall of famer but a quality career. Can you do a video on him?

Wow ! Great content ! I subbed & was very entertained ! Very well put together ………….. well for a girl !😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you’re a natural I expect to see u on ESPN in a year ! Good luck to u !

A few years ago, he was on Sky Sports in Britain, and i must say he was a decent pundit. I wonder if a bad player makes a good pundit because you know what you know what went wrong

0:18 colin cowherd being incredibly wrong? no way 😮

Lauren I know that the NFL Draft is in 2 weeks but you are by far real phenomenal incredible young lady at what you do BEST no doubt😍😍 4:18

Sorry the Biggest Bust in NFL History belongs to JaMarcus Russell…Leaf is in 2nd place at this point! Trust me I don’t like him that much but I have to give him credit when it’s due.

I love your videos.. ❤❤❤..

In my opinion Jamarcus Russel is the biggest bust. Great video as usual.

Lauren ♥️

Peyton Manning was the greatest draft pick in NFL's History 2:45

That suck he had to be with the chargers

Ryan Lead was innocent ! He was elite! It was the Chargers that sucked! Leaf would have won 4 Super Bowls (in a row) had he gone to ANY other team! Just think.. he could have gone to Detroit... and BAM... 4 SB wins. Just like that. Free the Leaf !

Your beautiful
