JaMarcus Russell says there was never a plan to have a pro day in the first place, so it really wasn't cancelled this week. No trips are planned either until Russell loses more weight. "Everybody's kind of waiting to see where his weight is, and when he gets close to weight they want to bring him in and evaluate him," TEST Academy CEO Brian Martin told Jim Corbett of USA Today on Wednesday. Corbett notes that Russell looked "impressive" in a workout on Tuesday in San Diego where he completed 51 of 60 passes with "sharp" accuracy, footwork and conditioning. Russell is down to 15 percent body fat and has lost 34 pounds to get to 281 pounds, but clearly he hasn't been able to get a team to bite on a visit. Russell says it's important to find "the right place that has that veteran I can go sit behind." Source: NFL.com
I'd like to say I agree but he held out and IMO stole money from the Raiders. He would rather have a purple drank then study the playbook and work out all while being paid on a freakin' massive contract.
How much weight does he have to lose to get another chance? Down to 250? 230? That's still huge for a QB.
He's 6'6"...Rapeys like 6'5" 250, Kaps skinny as crap and he's 6'5" 230. McSlab played around 250 at 6'2"...Tebow runs 240...
Him n VY to the Vikings. would like to see that happen. Just for craps n giggles ...and i fade back to black.
