Alright we all know the story on him but for those who don't I'll catch you up
JaMarcus Russell was drafted 1st overall in 2007 by the Oakland Raiders . In the three seasons he played for them he started 25 games and in those 25 he went 7-18 . Oakland released him in May 2010 due to his lack of effort on and off the field , poor work ethic , and overall ability . Oakland has yet to fully recover on their , what was supposed to be , "franchise player" .
He is widely considered to be the biggest draft bust in any sport and is thought to be a thief who stole the Oakland franchises money and never cared about the team . Since then he has tried out for several teams to become a second stream QB and has been turned down by all .
Personally I feel like he deserves another chance if he proves to have a good skill set and a hard worker .
What do you guys think ?
Thief in the night or js someone who couldn't handle the pressure of the NFL ?
