What ever happened to JaMarcus Russell?

                   

Do you guys remember that stud quarterback from LSU that was hailed as the savior of the Oakland Raiders? Do you remember the guy who was so strong he could throw a football 70 yards from his knees? I do, and his name is JaMarcus Russell, probably THE biggest bust in NFL history along with Ryan Leaf. It was this week in 2007 that he was drafted #1 overall by Al Davis and company. After a tumultuous three seasons in the league filled with interceptions, sacks, fumbles, sacks, fumbles, interceptions more interceptions and poor decisions, he was cut and has yet to play a down in any league. In honor of the draft tonight, (and seeing some memes about him, and watching Stephen A. Smith rants) I went searching for an update on this fascinating character. Well I found a very compelling piece done ESPN this week about the downfall and his attempt to make a comeback to football which is posted above. Check it out and do not forget to tune into the draft tonight live on ESPN at 7:00 p.m. from New York City. Also do not forget to do this week's poll!
