Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf, wanted in Texas on multiple charges, was arrested today as he tried to return from Canada to Washington. Leaf’s lawyer claims that the No. 2 overall pick in the 1998 draft was planning to travel to Texas to surrender to authorities prior to a Thursday deadline. An extradition hearing was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. He is charged with burglary to a habitation, a second-degree felony in Texas, and eight drug-related counts. Most of the charges arise from efforts by Leaf to get his hands on Hydrocodone/Vicodin.
