JaMarcus Russell, 308 Pounds, Returning to NFL

[chknwing]

Former 2007 No. 1 overall draft pick JaMarcus Russell is training for an NFL comeback.

We'll wait until you stop laughing....

The former Oakland Raiders quarterback, who hasn't taken a single NFL snap since 2009, told Yahoo! Sports he's dropped from 320 pounds to 308 pounds and is ready to bury past criticisms.

"Hey, I lost 12 pounds over 3 years because I quit eating a whole birthday cake before going to bed. Give me another shot."

Is he off purple drank? Didn't he also have sleep apnea? Dude had a whole mess of problems. It only takes one team though.

Wow, he is just morbidly obese now instead of severely morbidly obese.

Do want!

[KillerKat]

Jets lol

[Bwood]

I want pictures.

My idol. Nobody could get 39 million that easy and give zero fugs like Russell.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

308 LB QB?

[2jakefansinva]

he's probably broke.

[Jase]

Can he play D-tackle?

"People are always saying that I'm a bust. I want show them I'm not. I'm committed to this now."

I needed this good laugh to start my day. Thank you Ja-eats-a-lot-a-doughnuts-marcus.

[Kakarot]

Good luck to him. I hope he's able to make it back

[Kurb]

he's probably broke.

Probably ?

Throws for 70 yards from his knees! HOF not far for him...

Was it Chris Mortenson who said that his pro day had scouts and GMs saying it was the single most impressive QB pro day in terms of guys being amazed...

It is sad we care more about football than a guy who actually has the talent and physical ability to excel at a high level in the NFL...who is nothing but a joke..and such an awful player that anyone built close to him will get accused of having his poor work ethic and lack of desire..ahem ahem..

Can we get some video of Kiper and McShay fluffing him? That's always fun.
