Former NFL quarterback says Jalen Hurts is leading candidate for league MVP

Ryan Leaf’s professional career as a quarterback did not turn out as we wanted, but the one many labeled as the biggest NFL Draft bust knows marquee talent when he sees it.

The former No. 2 overall pick of the 1998 draft was Thursday’s feature on Good Morning Football. Leaf played five years in the NFL from 1998 to 2002 with the San Diego Chargers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys, and Seattle Seahawks. Some thought he would be better than Peyton Manning, but the former University of Tennesse legend went on to capture two Super Bowls and is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
