The Art of Being an NFL Draft Bust

You should do a vid on how every team since 2010 won the Super Bowl and how their team worked

Step 1: Get drafted number 1 overall. Step 2: Immediately go to Vegas and party! Step 3: Don’t about learning the playbook. Step4: Show up to practice drunk!

Ryan Leaf is just a mess of a human. It's also weird because he gives really funny, insightful and honest interviews, then proceeds to do something stupid to get arrested yet again. It's quite a human tragedy. Makes you appreciate the likes of Kurt Warner or Russell Wilson who were nobodies and became super bowl champs through their hard work.

I've got a lot of respect for Tony Mandarich due to the fact that he overcame his substance issues and proved that he was an NFL caliber player. That took guts!

first guy in the video "Tore his ACL in his first preseason game with the bengals" Me, a Bengals fan: yep, sounds about right.

Moral of the story... STAY FOCUSED!! The Jamarcus Russell story regarding the empty case is classic.

I hope when Ryan was released, at least one article was titled "Ryan Leaves"

The stories of busts are always fascinating, particularly when you gain an understanding of why they were overhyped and why they failed, but I really love stories about the guys who were overlooked and rejected, fought their way onto a team and ended up in the HOF. Dick Lane. Deacon Jones. Marion Motley. Kurt Warner. Johnny Unitas. Bart Starr. Warren Moon. Tom Brady. The list goes on and on of great players who were overlooked or cast aside, but who eventually succeeded. You could do a whole series on them. I'd watch them over and over and over.

9:15 I though the DVD was blank, not that the case was empty. It’s a hilarious story either way.

Ryan leaf is a totally chill dude now. Just saw him recently on the Pat McAfee show. He’s taken responsibility for his attitude and I think this whole thing made him a better man.

6:20 Thanks for bringing excellent Skip Bayless analytics. How could we even think of football without this living genius

A lot of times it seems like some guys are so physically gifted, they’ve never had to work at football very hard. Then they get to the NFL.....and the work ethic they never developed, is hard to come by. Its like a really smart kid, who never had to study, but then gets to grad school and has no idea how to prepare for a test, because they’ve never needed to. I feel bad for most draft busts, because really they are just kids and their failure is on the front page and will be talked about for years to come. I’m kind of shocked that teams investing their future in so much uncertainty, don’t have some kind of mentoring program. An assistant coach or retired player who gets payed a decent salary, just to make sure that the million dollar kid is keeping it together and getting tucked in at bed time. If anything, paying more attention to the psychological and emotional struggle that a young kid who is given tens of millions of dollars suddenly, would seem worth while. Its impossible for a 21 year old to realize that their NFL career will be over in the blink of an eye.

That Skip clip has me rolling on the ground laughing

Set The Edge: Uploads Me: I like that, I like that a lot

Nah man Jemarcus gotta be number 1 with that empty dvd case story lmfaoooo dude didnt even open the case....

I can't help but feel that Leaf deserved a finishing note on this video. He was an addict and now is in recovery and works with others in recovery as well. He may not have had football success but he has finally gotten clean and seems much happier in his new life
