Calling Ryan Leaf a bust isn't as effective as it used to be.

Leaf was the second pick of the 1998 NFL Draft, behind Peyton Manning, by the San Diego Chargers, and he's widely regarded as the biggest bust in NFL history. 

A combination of poor play, injuries and bad behavior led to his career ending in 2001 after just 25 games.

Leaf has had to accept the harsh reality, but more than 20 years later, it's not much of a concern anymore.

Active on social media, Leaf responded to a post on X, formerly Twitter that read, "From what I remember Ryan Leaf absolutely LOVED to take receipts when he was in the league."

Leaf said that was not the case, but had he done so, "I could have talked a lot of s--t."

The original post did not tag Leaf, nor does Leaf follow the account, so another user, dubbed Soap, asked him why he was "searching" his own name on the platform.

That's when Leaf went to school.
