Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf is offering his assistance to New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon.
"I've reached out to Josh and his manager, Michael Johnson, plenty of times, and they know I'm here for him," he said, per TMZ Sports. "They know I'm available."
TMZ noted "Leaf has fought a very public battle with mental illness" and works with Transcend Recovery Community's mentoring program that helps those who are dealing with substance abuse issues.
Gordon was acquired by the Pats in a September trade with the Cleveland Browns, with whom he spent six-plus years after the organization selected him in the second round of the 2012 supplemental draft.
