NFL scouts will still tell you, to this day, that Jamarcus Russell put up one of the most impressive individual workouts they’ve ever seen during the pre-draft process. At 6’5 and 250lbs, he was a hulking athlete who could throw the football as far as anyone on the planet. But when he got to the NFL, he enjoyed the off-the-field perks of being a quarterback way too much. One report described Russell as coming into training camp “annually … incredibly overweight,” once ballooning to over 300lbs (compared to the 250lbs he was listed at in college).
