It’s funny to look back 20 years ago and wonder how there was ever a debate between Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf for the top spot in the 1998 draft. Leaf was drafted second overall by the San Diego Chargers and received a 5 year, $31.25 million contract with an $11.25 million signing bonus.

In just two seasons with the Chargers, Leaf went 4-14 as the starter with 13 touchdowns and a whopping 36 interceptions. But hey, three of his four wins came on QB led game-winning drives.
Players drafted after Leaf: Charles Woodson (#4), Fred Taylor (#9), Randy Moss (#21)
