GREAT FALLS, MONTANA — Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges that he broke into a Montana home and illegally possessed painkillers, part of a deal with prosecutors that recommends he spend nine months in a secure drug treatment facility.The former San Diego Chargers quarterback was shackled hand and foot and wore black-and-white prison stripes as he told Cascade County District Judge Kenneth Neill that he needed treatment."I'm very much looking forward to the opportunity presented," Leaf said. "An intensive nine-month rehab facility is presently needed."It was one of the few statements Leaf made in the hearing under questioning by his attorney, Kenneth Olson. Leaf admitted that he broke into a home in Cascade County on April 1. He then admitted that a few days earlier, on March 28, he illegally possessed oxycodone that was not prescribed to him.
