ormer NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has been indicted by a Randall County grand jury on drug and burglary charges.

The indictment was handed up Wednesday in Canyon. It charged the 33-year-old former San Diego Chargers quarterback and former West Texas A&M quarterbacks coach with one count of burglary to a habitation, seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and delivery of a simulated controlled substance.

Canyon police Lt. Dale Davis said Leaf is suspected of breaking into a Canyon apartment on Oct. 30 and stealing the painkiller Hydrocodone, which had been prescribed to an injured football player.

James Farren, Randall County criminal district attorney, said Leaf has been undergoing drug rehabilitation in British Columbia, the Amarillo Globe-News reported. Farren told the newspaper that efforts were under way to try to convince Leaf to return to the United States on his own.

It was not clear whether Leaf had an attorney.

THE biggest bust in NFL History. It's hard to believe he was drafted 2nd overall. What a dumbass.

I hope he dies in a fiery grave with maximum pain

AND YES it was his fault he was drafted second

This guy was a "lost cause" a long time ago. Sad.

Hard to believe because of what his life has become or hard to believe because of his talent-level?

It's sad...hopefully he gets the help he needs. He has kind of fallen off the face of the earth with some of the people he knows. Just disappeared after losing the WTAMU job.

Wouldn't he have gotten a huge signing bonus being the #2 overall pick? Not a whole lot of sympathy from me. Don't know why he would 'need' painkillers, since he never played long enough to have long-term injury problems.

Why did you choose one of the most embarrasing players ever as your username?

[Bmore]

shit happens. Can you imagine what would have happened if him and peyton switched places?

Peyton out of the league and Leaf leading the colts? or Peyton leading the chargers to a superbowl and leaf still out of the league and now having Phillip Rivers or Eli?!

I remember back on like Madden 2002 when you could do the expansion draft with the Texans I would take them and draft Leaf and make him the starter and ressurect his career there.

They're only picking on him because he's black. If he were a white guy, this wouldn't even be news.
