"Matt Leinart, the USC quarterback and Heisman trophy winner expected to be among top NFL draft picks this month, loves being a role model: "I think it's a cool thing." He's also ready to begin his pro career and "the next chapter" in a life story that already includes good works. He's involved with the dropout prevention group Communities in Schools and the Children's Eye Foundation. (Leinart, 22, grew up cross-eyed, wearing "Coke-bottle" glasses.) Knowing that he soon will be in the money, Leinart tells me he wants to start a foundation of his own. So, where didhe get his do-good spirit? "Family."
