I Got Robbed: Matt Leinart Steps in as Editor in Chief of ESPN The Magazine and Interviews GM's and Coaches Who Passed on Him Draft Day

Thursday June 21, 2007 - NEW YORK, New York.USA -- (BUSINESS WIRE)

REVENGE OF THE JOCKS

ESPN The Magazine has always dreamed of switching places with the athletes it covers, but do athletes have the same career envy?

To find out, The Magazine asked pro, college and high school stars to take over for one issue. Turns out jocks have fantasies too. IF I RAN THE MAGAZINE.

Matt Leinart isn't just a football player; he's a fan. And he's got plenty of ideas about how to make The Magazine better. The QB takes a shot at being the Editor in Chief.

LOOK WHO'S IN CHARGE. He's not over it. More than a year after fading in the draft, Matt Leinart wants to know how it happened. Luckily, The Magazine gave him a chance to find out and sent him to the owner's meeting to get answers.

Matt Leinart reports. "I've thought about the Draft process a lot over the past year. I was coming off a national championship game, my second straight, but my stock kept falling. Why? I know some teams thought I was Hollywood. But the Titans knew better. Jeff Fisher is a SC (University of Southern California) guy. And they took Vince. It still hurts."
