It was just a couple months ago when Portfolio.com did an interesting feature about the post-NFL career of quarterback Ryan Leaf, detailing his remarkable success as football and golf coach at West Texas A & M and, most surprising, the fact that he's still a multi-millionaire thanks to past endorsement money. But there may be some trouble in Leaf's post-NFL oasis, as ESPN.com is reporting that Leaf has taken a leave of absence from his assistant coaching position at West Texas A &M for "personal" reasons. ESPN also dropped this little nugget of info in the story:
A person briefed on the situation said that Leaf acknowledged he had asked a player for a pill to help him deal with pain in his wrist dating to his NFL playing days.
The West Texas A & M athletic department hasn't had an official comment yet, but they also said they weren't sure if Leaf would still coach at the university after this gets sorted out.
