Am I the only one who thinks JaMarcus Russell could end up being the Sam Bowie to Calvin Johnson's Michael Jordan? I'm not saying Russell was a bad pick, but I do think it's telling that Chris Berman's first factoid about Russell after he was drafted was that he can throw the ball 60 yards from his knees. After his on-campus workout, Russell got a little overrated.I heard one of the alleged draft experts on TV this week say Russell has the highest ceiling (in other words, the biggest potential upside) of any draft prospect since John Elway. Think about that: That's saying Russell could be better than Peyton Manning. Does anyone really believe that's possible?
Fun fact: Russell is the first person named JaMarcus ever chosen in the NFL draft.
The Detroit Lions are on the clock. Matt Millen has 15 minutes to figure out the stupidest thing he can do.
