JaMarcus Russell Isn't Satisfied With Just Being Called A "Bust"

July 12, 2022

Russell wants fans to go all of the way with it.

JaMarcus Russell is considered to be one of the biggest draft busts in the history of the NFL. He was picked up by the Oakland Raiders and coming out of LSU, there was a ton of hype surrounding Russell. In the end, he did nothing with the team and the few seasons he actually played in Oakland were plagued by controversy.

Russell floated the idea of making a comeback at one point, although there weren't any teams in the league that wanted to take him seriously. To this day, fans still call him a bust, and Russell addressed this on The Pivot podcast with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder. In fact, Russell revealed that he would rather fans call him the biggest bust ever as that's a more definitive title.



“I’ll say my sh** didn’t turn out how I wanted it to, or not how they expected it to,” Russell said. “But, if you’re going to call me a bust, put the ‘Biggest’ on that. That s*** don’t bother me.”
