Ryan David Leaf champions those battling mental and behavioral health issues, urging us to rethink mental health and addiction. He aims to crush the stigma, declaring, "asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness." As a former quarterback, Leaf's career at Washington State was stellar: Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year (1997), First Team All-American, Sammy Baugh Quarterback of the Year, Heisman Trophy finalist, and leading the Cougars to the '97 Rose Bowl. Drafted No. 2 overall in the 1998 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers, he spent four years in the NFL. Currently, Ryan is the CEO and President of RAM Consultant, Inc., and program ambassador for Transcend Recovery Community. In the sports world, he's a college football analyst for ESPN, where he calls games on ESPN2 and ESPNU, hosts the Pac-12 radio show on Sirius XM from 7-10 am PST, and regularly contributes to SportsCenter.
