He made 32 million for 3 years work, didn't get crippled for life or have a concussion. I'd say he had the best NFL career of all time.
my name is DRAKE he’s only saying that cause he probably wasted all his money
Gaius Julius Caesar and my name is drake
Both of ur points r valid but he got paid 32 mil to bench warm soooo...
@my name is DRAKE idk Ryan Leaf gota be up there too. Toss up
I want to be remembered by family my kids and grandkids they don’t have to struggle ever that how I wanna be remembered
Well, since you stated it that way. Hell yeah. I wonder if he would entertain the XFL for a season or two.
“Just give me the whole story and let me decide for myself” is some of the realest shit I’ve heard.
Sadly, that's something the media never does. They're only gonna give you enough to make you wanna click that link.
Unfortunately the truth doesn't always fit the narrative
You wouldn’t do with when it comes to someone lying about Trump
Yo Flem, what I love about this series is that you humanize each person you cover in this. Too much of reporting in society is just a spin that doesn't allow the person consuming the content to make their own decision on the subject. Here, you're laying stuff out for everyone and people can decide if Jamarcus was greedy and lazy or if he was completely crushed by two untimely deaths of his support system. I love this series.
People deal with grief in different ways. I hate to be that dude speculating in comment sections, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some longer term depression that Russell was dealing with after his uncles died. That stuff is hard to deal with and I find it tough to put blame on anyone for any reaction of dealing with loss. For some it's a motivator to live your life for that person. For others, it can crumble them.
Dude had crazy talent, some of the best talent the position's ever seen, and he got a real nice nest egg and got to the top league in his job in the world. Was he an absolute success? Nah. But I can definitely understand why.
Great work as always, Flem.
I agree, but I also think it's important to recognize another essential fact about Russel's pro career. Namely, that NO ONE could have succeeded with the 2007/08 Raiders. The Raiders were the absolute worst situation for him to walk into with a disinterested/unqualified coaching staff, a senile owner and an absolutely dysfunctional locker room devoid of leadership.
Yea
Mike Rogers Read this 10 months later and I hope you’re doing well sir, I’m glad there are people like you in this world with a mind like that
I agree
Imagine going through a mental health struggle and then everyone ends up calling you the biggest bust of all time and lazy, I feel bad for him honestly.
Thank you for humanising him, I'd never heard the family side of the story. And nice finish with the story about him ruining your night haha
Two words: PURPLE DRANK
When he said this "big black truck" am I the only one who though he was referring to russle lmao
MR KDub yeah I thought so lol
Lol me too
LOL
Same
naw dude was a diesel
He's still the king of Mobile, AL. 32 million is like a billion dollars in Alabama.
Alabama is the fifth poorest state in America
Doe B the King of Alabama
@@negusheavy6109 Mobile is a city.
Bravo X I’m aware of that, just had to say it. I’m from Michigan idk shit but Doe B was my dawg
@@negusheavy6109 He seemed like a stand up guy. His music was dope. R.I.P.
Sadly the raiders went through many quarterbacks after him until Carr
Elijah Browne still going to be running through Quarterbacks soon Carr isn't reliable he keeps getting injured
Pill Cosby 2 injures 4 years in the league and missed 4 games
lol its not over yet carr was a one year wonder sad like you raiders thought different and gave him that huge contract some people never learn
MJP facts he really is
+Sho Tohara You know for sure how much that org has struggled.Sometimes people are labeled busts.But coaching and the org make a big diff also.He may be a bust,but it's more to. It,His work ethic was non existent.Kyper is wrong a lot..Lol
Wonder if JaMarcus still has the blank dvd with his "playbook" 😂😂
staticmetal2002 xbl lmao I remember that one teammate talking about that. Buddy had that “Die with the Lie” mentality 😂
@Run Gunn how would that work?
@Run Gunn turning the table on a blank DVD
@Run Gunn I know what that bullshit was all about; my point was no excuses. It shouldn't have happened. When you've signed a mega contract, you have to step up. There's no turning the tables on that. Period. The End.
@Run Gunn heyy buddy..... Just because a coaching staff is bad doesn't mean that they can't try and evaluate their players. There are 32 teams in the NFL and not all of them have great coaching staffs or everyone would be 16-0. The fact is they wanted to prove a point by giving him a blank dvd. They can't just call out a man in front of his teammates without having proving his complete lack of focus and work ethic. TRY THINKING LOGICALLY FOR ONCE PLEASE.
I (randomly) clicked on one of your videos a few days ago and im impressed. Keep 'em coming. Your doing a fantastic job young man!
Played this dude in highschool, he was unreal back in the day.
Worst bust? Nah.
Ryan Leaf is still the worst bust of all time. At least Jamarcus Russell won some games after his rookie season.
krysala I disagree Ryan leaf went after Peyton Manning for a reason Plus that draft class while decent doesn’t come close to the value of the 2007 nfl draft and the fact that he didn’t even try and let himself get overweight pretty much sealed his fate for biggest bust of all time
liljackster228 Russell had more potential in my opinion
you do realize that arguing over ryan leaf and jemarcus russell's careers is like arguing who's dog has the best smelling shit, right?
arguing the potential best is one thing, arguing over who was the worst... dude..
krysala Leaf was compared to Peyton Manning at one point. Granted that was before the rings and the records but the Colts considered taking Leaf before they finally went with Peyton. Leaf had a decent rookie year, but he quickly went downhill. Someone who's standards were that high, and had many expectations they failed to live up to, is the biggest bust.
tim mutohfan but thats exactly what defines a "bust". Someone that failed the expectations of everyone. In my opinion Leaf failed more, as Russel had more potential after his rookie season.
"Thanks Bro, you ruined my night" Hahahahahaa!! Classic!
Two words: PURPLE DRANK
🍇🍼
Only real Kats knew what wuz up wit bruh bruh . He bust himself.
That's kind of sad that purple drank is the first thing I think of when he is mentioned.
Heard this a lot
It's true. Before the 2009 season, he was on an upward swing. He showed good mobility, and had a 13TD-8INT his first starting season, capped off by kicking Gruden out of the NFL with a comeback win at Tampa Bay. After that offseason, the dude came into training camp looking like a pregnant woman, and was never the same. Lean sounds like some stupid shit, but really is no joke lol. You just cant be a professional athlete while also sippin' that crap. It has ruined many careers and lifes.
13:26 Brett Farve when his dad died he played one of his best games against the Oakland Raiders
Probably THE best game ever from the ol' gunslinger.
Enchanted gamer I remember that. Was a Monday night game. He came out and shifted gears
Enchanted gamer ya I think he had 5 tds in the first half
Apples to Oranges he was a well established vet not a young guy on an atrocious offensive line.
Some people feel inspired to play great for their recently passed loved one.
Some people are destroyed.
Man I remember listening to his uncle Ray Ray every morning on 93 BLX. Dude was awesome.
Me too fam. Him in the morning and Nick at Nite in the evenings. Good times.
who cares
@Greg Dawson Jr thanks man! Mine will be 3 in July!
JaMarcus Russell was actually that good...in college. Also, Sam Bradford was more responsible for the rookie wage scale overhaul than Russell.
Sad but true, such foolishness.
How did Bradford get so much is still beyond me
Yup u right ,sam stole alot of money twice lol
@@dagofrankdf not stolen if they hand it to you 🤣🤣
@@TheMainMan364 what if ya don't do the job you're paid to do?
Flemlo, do me a favor. DON'T EVER STOP WHAT YOU DO! KEEP THESE VIDS COMING!
The blank tape stories were also interesting.
Ha. Jamarcus pulled out the *Thot Magnet* lol. Really shows what most shorties really value.
VW DT Security
VW DT Kaepernick sucks
VW DT check me out you do promo I PayPal how much
VW DT I'ma play the national anthem, what r u Hana do?
Fr tho like your profile pic I loved watching him play
RG3 and Shanahan situation, Jeff Fisher and Vince Young, When a coach doesn't want you but the GMs do, this how it ends up. And its crazy Jeff Fisher has mulitiple situations of ruining a player because he didnt like them.
Russell made a mistake in his first season showed greed and lack of vision
If I'm being honest here. This totally changed my perspective on Russell. Not that it excuses how he prepped, but man, I don't care who you are, you lose your entire support system etc, it will mess you up. I appreciate your approach to your videos. You put it all on the table. Good bad and ugly for us to see the whole picture. I've followed the NFL for over 30 years and never heard a single sliver of the info about his family. If you think losing people that close to you won't got you hard, you're a different breed. I wish as a person, they'd done something to help him with that aspect of his life. Just cause you made a huge contact, doesn't mean it won't effect you like it would anyone else. Thanks flem
Do Rolando McLain
Jermane Wright he just graduated from college
Billy Tide the man good now he just finished college
He still hustling tho
Jermane Wright Rolando might be the best player ever to never utilize his talent. Got in too much trouble
Another ex raider
I don’t subscribe to many channels but I love this host, I found these videos recently and I watch them every morning on the toilet until my legs fall asleep
He needed a mentor, someone to look out for him especially when making life decisions. Always luv you JaMarcus and hope you’re happy living life.
I think most QBs do. Every position needs that a little bit but QBs are the future captain of one half of your team so they need a good mentor more than right guard or a free safety would. Throwing these rookie QBs into the deep end is just a bad idea and there's a reason they didn't used to do that as much as they do now. Aaron Rodgers was probably always going to be a good QB but without spending some time behind Brett Favre does anybody think he wouldn't have extra growing pains?
I think he's fine he still a millionaire so he definitely doesn't have money problems.
@@GhostWeekly comments on here say he’s broke ?
@@PInk77W1Oh well I read that he still rich.
@@GhostWeekly I have no clue.
That money could Last him for life
Or be all gone
Full disclosure. I'm not even a football fan idk how I came across your channel but after watching my third straight video I subscribed. I appreciate and admire your in depth research and genuinely interesting narration. There's sports politics, Culture. The human element. All these factors make great story telling. Thank you.
Dwayne Haskins reminds me of Russell now
Yeah, everyone fell in love with Jeff George too
Ryan Leaf too
LongLiveStanka 24 I forgot about Ryan Leaf is between him and Jamarcus Russel as the biggest bust ever
Tim couch
Easily Russel is #1. Leaf easy drafted #2 while Russell was #1 and got paid more
Harry V And Russel was way more talented which makes it worse
Jimmy Dolan Tim couch didn’t play horrible considering he had no offensive line or talent around him
Perfect example of natural talent only taking you so far. Once you get into NFL everyone has talent. It is about the work you put in to build on that natural talent.
Dave good look some guy's are great in college all 3 or 4 years.then get to the NFL and get cut.some of the BEST QB.RB.DB.WR.the league ant no joke just cause you was great in college.
Al Davis was also obsessed with arm strength in qbs too
I've watched a lot of your videos dude, and this one is by far the best. You're clearly way more professional and on an entirely higher level when it comes to producing your more recent videos. But something about how causal and relaxed this one was hits a different vibe entirely for me. Maybe it was mostly that I completely died after the story at the end, though.
Bruh as a raider fan I hated to click this vid and even see his face
Side note Khalil Mack needs that franchise tag
Word. JaWalrus is a straight douche. I met him. Str8 DOUCHE.
He was more interested in cashing in, wearing stupid ankle length furs and enough gaudy bling to deform a vertebra. Tells me he was immature, shallow and lazy.
Shaun Blake52 I don't really think Tebow was a bust more of an overachiever..if you remember he was not expected to be a hall of fame Qb I'm the NFL like Russell or Leaf even though he played on national championship.teams in college.the other.teams in the NFL laughed when the Broncos drafted him in the first round because they all viewed him as a third or fourth round pick.
>Evan Keough
This comment has aged poorly
As a Raider fan. I get pissed just hearing his name. I was at the Jacksonville game he got his first playtime at in 07
As a Raider fan you should be used to it! Lol.
You gotta do Vernon gholston my guy
Hayden Gallina now that's, the biggest bust in the NFL
Yep, been asking for him too. The ultimate workout warrior guy.
Hayden Gallina he was however they used his college highlights in the movie draft day.....lol
Fucking Jets
Another great video. Growing up in Louisiana, we didn’t miss a LSU game, so I remember watching Russel in college and how he had so much raw talent.(supposedly he could throw from the 50 YL through the uprights off one knee.) he could of been great, he just didn’t have a strong enough mind to unlock is potential. He was amazing as a college QB, but we all know the NFL tends to separate the men from the boys.
Lemme ask you this. Had the Raiders gone and drafted Megatron, who was their QB to throw to him? That’s right. At that time of the Raiders, it didn’t matter WHO they drafted. No one would’ve worked out. If JaMarcus Russell had the right work ethic, and if the Raiders had the right people in the front office that knew how to build around Russell, it could’ve/should’ve/would’ve worked out. You should try check the film when JaMarcus played against the Patriots. He tore they ass up! That’s the JaMarcus Al Davis saw. Plus, Al liked speed, yes, but he was also a man who loved the deep ball. And JaMarcus was the man he thought could bring that back for the Raiders.
Eddie LM who would’ve threw to Megatron? Andrew Walter? C’mon man. Joe Thomas I agree, though.
i mean if robert gallery weren't a bust himself.. not to make the claim one dude from iowa makes an o-line, still he was meant to be a solid piece..
HighRollahz808 could’ve drafted Adrian Peterson and focus on the run game.
The Raiders could've drafted Jesus and he would've been busted for peds. The Raiders organization werenin shambles like they are now. The fanbase deserved better.
Well to be honest if JaMarcus Russell didn’t turn out to be a bust he’d probably have trouble regardless because of no line and no wife receivers and only had Darren McFadden
3:41 I was at that Tennessee game. Such a heart breaker for my Vols.
I’m from mobile Al where he from and everybody still talks about him messing up in the NFL
+Kendyl Williamson damn
Man no they dont
I would have too
Help Me I'm from Mobile yes they do but we fw demarcus he put mobile in map and provide blessing down her🙈🙉
Yeah we do
As a Lions fan I was praying the Raiders wouldn’t take Calvin Johnson
Should have hoped any.e else got Calvin seems lions shortened his career much like Sanders.
😩😂
And THANK JESUS THEY DIDN'T TAKE MEGATRON!..AS a lions fan
I'm sorry you're a Lions fan
@@BrianJHilliard i was a lions fan from 98-2002 and im in california lol
Flem you're awesome at making these vids and incredibly insightful. Glad I found you dude.
Love the story at the end, lol! I'm a Raiders fan, and the whole JaMarcus Russell thing was a gutpunch for the team. He had the talent to take the team places, but zero drive once that contract ink was dry.
Mel Kiper did revolutionize the draft process, but once the draft became a big tv event in the 2000s he became a joke. Draft guys have to hype guys make 50 mock drafts for clicks and attention.
he didn't revolutionize shit, this is the entirety of his Career in Wikipedia
"Kiper said that Ernie Accorsi, general manager of the then-Baltimore Colts, encouraged him to become a draft analyst. Accorsi told him that there was a market for draft information and suggested that Kiper convert his analysis into a business.[2]
Kiper and fellow draft analyst Todd McShay are often featured together and compare their mock drafts on ESPN programs.[3]
Kiper co-hosts the weekend show Dari and Mel with Dari Nowkhah on ESPN Radio.[4]"
wow, revolutionary stuff there, look at all that history of 'revolutinized' drafting.

Funniest comment here
👍🏿
Do EJ Manuel, Christian Ponder, Aaron Murray, Matt Leinart, Tyrone Swopes, Mettenburger, Josh Gordon, Trent Richardson, Brandon Weeden, so much potential w these vids. Keep it up bro
Josh gordon still in the nfl he just suspended ...EJ is a back up somewhere in the nfl ...Ponder retired... Murray i think isa back up too
Eddie LM that's where he went
Tyrone Swoopes is a TE for the Seahawks
Caleb Probus Manuel is a backup, Ponder retired, Murray is a backup, Leinhart retired, Swopes is a TE for Seattle I think, Mettenburger idk lol, Gordon plays for Cleveland still, Trent plays in the Canadian league, Weeden retired hope that’s helped bro
Frat god let this be a lesson to fans, Don't overhype college players, and you won't be disappointed.
I've watched three of your videos in a row, absolutely amazing. I subscribe. I love the story telling, even on a bust like Russell. It's like VH1s behind the music.
Do my nigga Denard Robinson, Cover athlete for NCAA 14 and a Legendary QB for the Michigan Wolverines.
JBounce24 he already did one I believe
JaMarcus Russell is a genuine inspiration to me. As weird as it is to say, his failure drives me to better myself in my goals. Because he was amazing. He was an absolutely amazing arm and athlete. He could flick a ball 50 yards like it was child’s play. And just like that…. Just like that he blew it. And he knows it too. And you can tell he regrets it. And a lot of the things he let get to him are things that I often let get to me. Fluctuation between over-confidence and no confidence at all, depression, lack of motivation and discipline (which is so hard to get over), drugs, etc. And it all inspires me to do better for myself. My talent and opportunity can be squandered and then it’s over. I won’t get it back. I won’t get another chance. And I don’t wanna be that guy. And it drives me. JaMarcus drives me. And I know that may sound like a troll or a diss, it really is not at all. I love him for it. He’s almost a hero of mine. And honestly I was really rooting for him when he tried to come back in 2013. Would’ve loved to see him get a second chance with Chicago.
Alas, it is what it is. GOD’s will be done. I love JaMarcus Russell, and I wish him all the best.
You have no idea what he went through
You need to do one of these for Dwayne Haskins next.
Jamarcus isn't the worst bust ever. Close, but not the worst of all time. The reason for this is because he actually LEADS Leaf in every single offensive stat.
Do Aaron Brooks For Saints/Raiders
Collin Elson, Aaron brooks is Michael Vick cousin
packers too bud
Do a video on zach mettenberger. He’s had a roller coaster career starting in college and into the pros and now on that new AAF league
Me: No onions on my big mac please.
Demarcus Russell : ya sure no problem.
... Onions on my big mac
It would just be a bag full of onions.
Ha
A story came out recently that the coaches didn’t thing Russell was watching film so they gave him tapes and told him there were blitz packages on them and he had to watch them. The next day he said he watched them all. The tapes were blank...
Do Colt McCoy one of the best Texas quarterbacks of all time
Alan Talamantes Donnie Little one of the best Qbs too
Alan Talamantes Vince Young is the best Texas quarterback ever
And they were all busts.
Colt McCoy is not a huge bust
Right behind VY
Had to rewatch this. Love u flemlo just lost my uncle n been feeling down but what u said lifted my head and I appreciate that
WOW! Dang bruh, I NEVER knew about the tragedies and/or timing of those devastating + unexpected losses he had endured! SMH! Unreal how NOBODY talks about that and just labels him the mega-bust! He's become a punchline for 100s of ignorant pundits + reporters that feed off OTHER people's tragedies like vultures!
All in all I think J. Russel is a good man w/ a good heart who lacked the maturity needed to be a SUPER star in the NFL!
Real glad I watched that video and got the "WHOLE STORY" on Jamarcus Russel!
Big ups bruh, keep doin it + get out the truth for the people!
Been looking for a sports UA-camr of your caliber, glad ad I finally found one! 💯
I remember being shocked that Jamarcus was considered a high first rounder, down here in Florida we get a lot of the sec games on local networks and when FSU was not on I was usually watching UF or LSU, on the field he seemed like a good qb but never someone who blew me away. You should do a video about qbs who got jumped to the front of their class on arm strength alone, remember Kyle Boller the cal guy who threw the bomb off one knee.
Yeah, I remember that too during his junior year. I saw a few games of his, and he was overall good, but like you, I was never blown away...then that Notre Dame game came, and that changed everything, and apparently Al Davis decided that night that he was going to take him. Lane Kiffin wanted Megatron, and the night before the draft tried to convince al to go that way, but his mind was already made up. It also should be said, and this is taking NOTHING away from Jamarcus, he absolutely shredded ND that night, but ND was pretty overrated, with a defense that wasn't great, and LSU had three NFL receivers.
JaMarcus Russell is the prime example of maybe he should’ve stayed an extra year in college if he’s not ready despite being a number one pick he could still stay a year by then Russell would be an awesome QB if you learn the things about QB other than just physical talent.
Do Vince Young next
that's a good one
No it ain't. He spazzed and no one picked him up
couldn't read defenses, inconsistent delivery.. done.
He’s in Canada, next
Jeff Fisher...end of story.
Small World, I just found your channel a few weeks ago and heard you say your attended Southern University. Im a SU grad myself, keep up the great work!
I went to Davidson high and remembered seeing him play too. Dude was a beast but the NFL not so much smfh. He gave us the business tho smh I also remember seeing him throw bombs just playing around with his left tooo. That codeine shit hit mobile hard
When are people gonna learn? Someone who works for them has a member of their family or a very close friend, someone who is IRREPLACEABLE, just flat-out *DIES* and, in their infinite wisdom, they don't give them time to grieve over the loss of that person? Force that person to come to work/practice/whatever?
You are GOING to see a MEASURABLE decline in their performance, ability, skill, etc, because they're STILL TRYING TO COPE!! And they got the nerve to say this man's a bust.
CAN YOU PLEASE DO CHRIS LEAK‼️
(Florida Gators🌴🐊)
Noel DiMaggio Jr always thought he resembled Chris Duhon.
He went to the cfl I think?
But I don't think he made it up there
Eddie LM lol. Damn Chris. Read the details.. it's a very interesting story. A teacher in a towel, receiving a massage from a student. Before asking her basically for a handjob. She then reports him (to school administrators), but decides not to press charges of sexual misconduct. Something is very fishy about that story.
Noel DiMaggio Jr check FTO's channel for the Chris Leak story
dude great history take on this. i just learned about this dude from a book called The Talent Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Skil.. and the part on him ended at the Raiders picking him in the draft. the retired coach who suggested him, a guy who coached Brady, said he'd need a single coach who used the same coaching vocabulary and could be with him and mentor him for 3 years initially. guess that didn't pan out - as you said, the Raiders were probably the worst place for him. Really shows how critical coaches and the environment is for superstars to be made.
Felix jones part of the three running backs from Arkansas Felix jones,Darren McFadden and Peyton hillis
They were a BEAST I loved them
I literally would have never thrown the ball... give it to Hillis on first to pound them, Felix on second to make them chase and tire them out, and then DMC for the home run. What a stacked backfield.
Great video. Had no idea about what he was going through. It certainly adds some needed context to what was going on. Couldn’t have been easy for him being so high profile, experiencing such major losses and being expected to handle it under a microscope while being criticized for everything he does. Glad to hear he seems to be doing well now. Also that was hilarious at the end. These videos are great.
Do colt mccoy
wavy coby that's a good idea
I blame the Brown Organization honestly
He already did
Sho Tohara he was ok on the Redskins for a bit
xee vang I blame fans overhyping him.
You gave me a whole different perspective on the Jamarcus Russell story...great post.
Jamarcus Russell Went to Williamson High School The Same School That I Went From 2009 To 2013
I loved his play at LSU. Had he put the work in, played at around 240 pounds consistently (I always thought the 250-270 that he played at was too heavy, but that's just my opinion) there's no telling how could he could have been. I'm sure losing his uncle really hurt.
Do miles Austin
Domanique Wesson he dated Kim Kardashian, and his career busted.
Original6Productions
same jersey number too
Love your videos bro. Awesome narrating. Love it how you do your homework first before you do your videos and inform us really well. Just awesome bro.
Do the nick Saban controversy with lsu and bama
FlemLo! This is one of the best channels on UA-cam, I love the content. You answer so many of the questions that college football nerds ponder. Also, love to see you rocking that Colorado Rockies’ lid, the black and purple looks good on you, bro!
Can you do Jeremiah Masoli
an airball from the free throw line? more like an uncontested airball layup
All he cared about was the money. The talent was there but he didn't feel it mattered
Your videos are great bro I don’t know why I’m just now finding your series but I hope you do some more! These stories from you are better than the ESPN 30 for 30s in my opinion !
Peter Warrick
Peter Warwick was a beast his rookie year. Then he. Lee his knee out. Warrick would’ve taken over the NFL if he didn’t have that career ending injury.
@@30rackshawty Yep the Bengal curse. Kijana Carter, Palmer(bounced back), Warrick, Burrows. That franchise just loses their top 3 picks to blown knees. Modern medicine he would have had a better chance of bouncing back, but in those days it was pretty much a career shortening injury.
@@smashin well said. And remember this: Warrick was dependent on his unbelievable ability to cut on a dime. His primary cutting leg is the blown out knee. And NO ONE cut on a dime like this guy....
Hey man, I just watched two videos of yours last night. Now I’m watching this one. You are a super compelling story teller. You make quality content! You got yourself a new subscriber!
The bigger question is.... What happened to Ryan Perriloux (sp?)
In terms of raw talent, he’s one of the best athletes I’ve ever seen at LSU. Had high pro potential in both football and baseball. He just couldn’t keep his head on straight in college and wasted his opportunity.
At least he got a Super Bowl ring on the Giants’ practice team. Now he’s turned his life around, and Coach O brings him in to speak to the current LSU team about his experiences.
This guy somehow got it together for a game, beat the Buccaneers in the last game of the season in 2008, got Gruden fired and sent Tampa Bay into a tailspin. I walked out of the stadium that day saying, “We couldn’t figure out how to beat JAMARCUS RUSSELL.”
I remember being pumped up when we drafted him lmao sad man
Man when the Vikings drafted Laqoun Treadwell I thought we had the next Jerry Rice ... I was very, *very* wrong
Still have his jersey
@@ronjames4151 lmmmmao
Kirk Morrison told a story that the coach gave JaMarcus a cd of plays and told him to watch it that night. The next day coach goes up to JaMarcus and asked what plays he liked. He said he liked all of them. But JaMarcus failed to realize the CD was blank.
You always tell the whole story of these guys, the human story. The regular media is just hateful and ugly.
Bro I love your stories!! You make it interesting and in depth. Keep them coming.
Imagine if megatron was on the raiders with Derek Carr and amari cooper
Megatron would retire end of story
they might be because even if they drafted tron, they didn't have anyone to get the ball to him. he probably might have busted out going to the raiders.
not that the lions had much in the vault when #81 got there, but the raiders are a special brand of dumpster fire, petrol infused with wino urine..
Never could it happen. It's the Raiders we're talking about. Johnson would've left in free agency way before 2015.
Love it! You are the Man! When it comes to telling the entire story....
"He lost his uncles".....where the hell was his father?
pretorious700 uncles probably were the “fathers” in his life.

Found you through KTO and man you are a very good story teller. Definitely subscribing!

I would love a retrospective on Chad Johnson/ Ochocinco. He was the player that got me into football.
Please do Knoshown Moreno next. Interested what happened to him

I'll trade you one Purple Drank for it
I will trade you Ryan Leaf for your Jamarcus Russell!
You have to pay the card company to take that back lol

Imagine if the Raiders would have drafted Calvin Johnson instead, tanked the same year, and then the next year (2008) drafted Matt Ryan...
