Best Answer

Ryan Leaf. He was selected right after Peyton Manning. Peyton was 1st, Leaf was 2nd. Leaf had a very bad attitude, not to mention he threw threw 2 TDs & 15 INTs in his first season. He didn't start again until his third season where he threw 11 TDs & 18 INTs. He then tried to make a comeback the next year with the Dallas Cowboys, but failed miserably. Leaf retired before the season ended.
