Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf only played three seasons after being selected No. 2 in the 1998 NFL draft, but he made a lasting impact on a family on Monday.
Leaf replied to a tweet from Taylor Futch, who wrote that her husband, a park ranger in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, was furloughed on Sunday during the government shutdown.
"My husband is a Park Ranger in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and he had to sign his furlough papers. We have a 4-year-old and a 4-month-old, and we don't know when his next check will come," Futch tweeted.
