JaMarcus Russell aiming for comeback
JaMarcus Russell aiming for comeback
By The Sports Xchange | The SportsXchange – 2 hours 4 minutes ago Three years removed from his last NFL game, JaMarcus Russell is eyeing a comeback. Russell, a quarterback who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft, told Yahoo Sports that he plans to get back in shape in an effort to land another job in the NFL. He was released by the Raiders following the 2009 season, his third disappointing year in Oakland, and he hasn't been back in the league since. "My first year out, I couldn't watch football but after a while, I couldn't keep the TV off. I got that itchy feeling but now I gotta watch it, gotta watch," Russell told Yahoo Sports. "The last few years, the things going through my life, football is my job and it is how it feeds my family. "People would say (that) I didn't love the game but that (ticks) me off. People don't know the real you but I want people to know the real me and see what I can do. People are always saying that I'm a bust. I want show them I'm not. I'm committed to this now." According to Yahoo Sports, Russell is receiving guidance from ex-NFL wide receiver Mike Clayton, a fellow LSU product, and he plans to consult with former NFL players Jeff Garcia, Scott Brunner and Marshall Faulk. Russell reportedly weighs 308 pounds, down from 320 last year. His playing weight was listed at 265. Russell, 27, last made headlines in 2010 when he was arrested in Mobile, Ala., on suspicion of possession of codeine syrup without a prescription. However, he was never indicated in the case involving the so-called "purple drank." In 25 starts for the Raiders, Russell posted a 7-18 record. He completed 52.1 percent of his passes for 4,083 yards. He threw 18 touchdown passes and was intercepted 23 times. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/report-...7294--nfl.html |

Hey, he's lost 12 pounds from last year. That shows commitment to getting back in the game.

What would be real funny is if we sign him, and Andy Reid made him great. Not gonna happen, but it would be a nice stab at the Raiders.
Again, not gonna happen.

I think I remember reading that they once gave him a blank dvd on purpose and told it was game film for him to go over. Came back talking about he watched the whole thing.
What a waste of probably the strongest arm I've ever seen. |

Goddam, I could lose 12 pounds in one week, and a "pro" athlete loses that much in a year to show he's serious about getting back in the game?

Duh. He's broke. He's tasted of the NFL's silver spoon. He wants to return. DUH! Apparently throwing 60 yard bombs from your knees doesn't translate as an actual NFL talent. How about this, Jamarcus... stop losing weight. Convert to offensive line. Come to camp. We'll see what you got and how much you are really committed "NOW"!
