Football Betting Lines

06/19/2009 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ex-NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf reportedly surrendered on drug and burglary charges and was released after posting a $15,000 bond.

According to the San Diego Union Tribune, Leaf's trial may not take place for up to a year. He was arrested while crossing the border from Canada to Washington for an outstanding warrant in Texas. The report states he faces nine indictments for alleged use of painkiller medication while coaching at West Texas A&M.

Prior to the arrest, Leaf has just completed a drug rehab program in British Columbia. He is best known for not living up to his second overall selection in the 1998 NFL Draft. In his first season with the Chargers, Leaf went 3-6 in nine starts, while throwing 15 interceptions compared to two touchdowns.

The Washington State product started just 12 games following his tumultuous rookie campaign.
