NFL bust Ryan Leaf returned to football far from the spotlight Tuesday, joining Don Carthel's West Texas A&M staff as quarterbacks coach.


"I feel very honored to be a part of Coach Carthel's staff and a part of an up-and-coming successful program," Leaf said. "About a year after I retired from playing, I decided that I wanted to get back to college, where I had the greatest time of my life, and to get involved with college football."


Leaf, the former Washington State star drafted second overall by San Diego in 1998, spent five seasons in the NFL. His career was plagued by injuries and interceptions, along with numerous off-the-field problems.

Leaf played in San Diego (1998-2000) and Dallas (2001) and was in the Seattle training camp (2002). He appeared in 25 games and started 21 and had a starting record of 4-17. Leaf completed 317 of 655 pass attempts for 3,666 yards, with 14 touchdown passes, 36 interceptions and an anemic passer rating of 50.0.
