Former 1st overall pick QB has a hilarious response to being called a BUST
JaMarcus Russell is the prime example of why you don't draft someone based on a fantastic pro day. The LSU product could throw the ball over a building, but, well, that's about all he could do. Weight issues and work ethic questions were two main factors in him being unable to develop, and he never found a second chance in the NFL.
Russell is in the conversation for the biggest NFL Draft bust of all time primarily thanks to the hype he generated as a rare size-strength combo at quarterback. Thanks in part to a training camp holdout that carried into the season, he started only one game during his rookie year with the Raiders. The team dumped him in 2010 after 25 starts in three seasons (a record of 7-18), and Russell never again saw the field in the NFL.
Here is what he had to say on his behalf:
