Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell is facing foreclosure on his Oakland mansion, a $3 million property. Russell owes $195,512 in back mortgage payments. If he doesn't pay within the next three months, the former top overall pick's house will be set for auction. It's a 5,800 square foot home with six bedrooms and a four-car garage and four fireplaces. Paid a $31.5 signing bonus as a rookie as part of a $68 million deal, Russell struggled mightily in Oakland and is regarded as one of the biggest busts in recent NFL history.

The NFL Players Association needs to print out Russell's bio beginning on draft day and include it in the mandatory reading materials the players receive. Let the trainwreck of one of its own act as learning tool.
Err,............. No, I doubt it. Best suggestion was to use him as an example to the newer ones entering the league, as an example of how not to do it.
