308 pounds? He would be the best QB on the Cardinals roster right today though.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/nfl-draft-bust-jamarcus-russell-attempting-nfl-comeback-043914730--nfl.html

One of the biggest draft busts in NFL history is trying to re-kindle his football career. Yahoo! Sports has learned that JaMarcus Russell is planning a comeback attempt that he hopes will see him play in the league again. The former No. 1 pick in the 2007 NFL draft has not played a single NFL snap since the 2009 season with the Oakland Raiders.

The reclamation of Russell will follow a tricky road for a quarterback who was always known more for his physical blessings than technique. Russell, 27, who has effectively been out of football since tryouts with the Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins in 2010, might find overcoming himself his biggest challenge. Currently at 308 pounds, Russell is down from the 320 pounds he weighed this past fall and has been focusing on cardio conditioning the past six weeks to lose the weight.

�My first year out, I couldn�t watch football but after a while, I couldn�t keep the TV off. I got that itchy feeling but now I gotta watch it, gotta watch,� Russell said.

�The last few years, the things going through my life, football is my job and it is how it feeds my family. People would say I didn�t love the game but that pisses me off. People don�t know the real you but I want people to know the real me and see what I can do. People are always saying that I�m a bust. I want show them I�m not. I�m committed to this now.�

Yahoo! Sports has learned that Russell�s mentor through this whole process is former NFL wide receiver Mike Clayton, who like Russell is a LSU product. Over the next couple months, Russell will be training with Brian Martin of TEST Football Academy and TEST West, whose draft products include Joe Flacco and Patrick Peterson among others. In addition, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia (quarterback technique training), Olympian Ato Boldon (speed training and analysis), Dr. Robert Price of Elite Minds (mental and psychological analysis), former NFL wide receiver Quinn Early (disciplinary work and focus), former New York Giants quarterback Scott Brunner (reading defenses and classroom sessions) and NFL Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk (reading defenses) will work as part of the team trying to reclaim the quarterback�s promise.

A former top pick, Russell never fulfilled his boundless athletic promise, including a 6-foot-6-inch 265 pound frame that looked more like that belonging to a tight end than someone under center. Complicating a comeback from a less than storied NFL career is the fact that Russell will need to overcome the negative perception stemming from his July 2010 arrest for codeine syrup without a prescription.

He has taken steps to make amends for his mistakes, including frequently speaking to youth groups about his poor choices and arrest.

�I�m not looking for a pat on the shoulder from people who haven�t been there for me,� Russell said. �It feels funny not to go through a training camp, that�s just what I�m used to. It�s going to feel good to go back out there again. I will make this happen.�

in 6 weeks than that, and we have, you know, jobs. 12 pounds in 6 weeks is pretty damn easy, and that's for people that aren't THAT big and THAT athletic. He's bullshitting.

for him to shed a bunch of weight really quickly isn't the way to go. Once he gets his endurance up, the weight will steadily come off...

you don't want to do it too fast because he's got to maintain his strength...

second, it takes a village to raise a QB? third, he lost 12 pounds, since what, fall '12? 12 lbs is no great feat. jesus those are some low expectations

It'll be highly entertaining no matter what happens.

statistically, financially, number of starts, wins, etc.

True story.

YOU on the other hand choose to bring up Rodney Peete, Matt Leinert, and Matt Cassell to illustrate how glorious USC's NFL QB pipeline is

slight difference.

and I don't think anyone went into a season with Tomczak as their chosen starter like Bobby Hoying but you're right, I suppose an argument could be made.

the real question is will jamarcus Russell ever accumulate ten career wins total?

Tomczak blew the perfect season.

just better than jamarcus

he was ryan leaf bad.

I put bread on your head like powdered toast man

All this dedication needed to come when he first got drafted. Too little too late. I don't see any team taking a flyer on this guy.

He needs to stop paying them TEST fuggas and pay some professionals who will help him invest and make his money last.

bum ass nigga.

I think too often guys in his or similar situations focus exclusively on the NFL giving them a chance when the CFL should also be a viable option for them...

Tebow and TO need to look north of the boarder themselves.

that Kaepernick did before the draft.

Add in a DJ Screw soundtrack, and a commentator saying things like 'amazingly it took Jamarcus 7 seconds to decide on the wrong target, and he still missed the throw'.

Also the way i picture it, Jamarcus is performing this test with a Bill Cosby sweater and a fur coat.

i respect duke for being willing to go through this to get it back when nothing is guaranteed. sure it would have been better if he was this committee from jump, but we don't all operate on the same schedule. he may have had the wake up call he needed the last several years and hopefully he's able to salvage his career.

All jokes aside, I wish him the best of luck.

Wish him the best of luck though.
