2. Ryan Leaf, QB, San Diego Chargers, 1997
Leaf won his first two games as Chargers quarterback while Peyton Manning(notes) began 0-2, a start which led to this being written in the Sept. 14, 1998 edition of the Boston Globe:
For those Indy fans keeping score, that's six interceptions in two weeks for the 22-year-old phenom, whom the Colts selected with the first overall pick in this year's draft.
Actually, they chose him over another 22-year-old "can't-miss" kid named Ryan Leaf. Manning was supposed to be the one with more savvy.
Leaf would only win two more games in the rest of his career, 139 fewer than Manning.
Honorable mention: Charles Rogers (2003), Quentin Coryatt (1992)
