closest thing to an update - a photo. still huge, but even at a good weight he will look like a freak of nature.

ps those shorts must be 4 feet long. jeeeeze.

 

This thread has made a more impressive comeback than its subject!

 

I bet he purchased at leat one item from every one of those vending machines on his way to bounce that check.

Remember that time Mike Vick threw a football out of the stadium?

 

how far do you think (either normally, or on bended knee) jamarcus could throw one of those nerf spiral vortex footballs that kids can launch like 300 yards and how loud would the little whistle be?

I'm guessing with that massive arm he could probably get it a good 10-20 yards out there before his gravitational field pulled it back in.

JaMarcus Russell drops 27 lbs. in comeback attempt

 

Now at what he calls the halfway point in his journey, he is down to 288 pounds, hoping to shrink to 270.

when culpepper was in his prime, he was about the size of an average defensive end, so that sounds about right. i remember watching a few linebackers and defensive backs bounce off of him trying to deliver the big hit. it was funny seeing people being put down by a qb, if culpepper didn't have baby hands he may have had a better go of it.

I watched a few of those videos this morning. I'll givehim credit on losing the weight. It looks like he is really committed to getting back in he league. I still dont think he makes it but I give him serious props for losing that much weight

From what i remember of him, he always seems to do well in practice but had problems in games. Also, what does it hurt to try him out. Do you think he is worse than Aron Crop or whoever the trick throw QB from that viral video we have on our roster?

At his current weight, I'll take Corp. If he gets his weight down, maybe ill take a serious look at him

and even then, hes several years removed from real play.... thats got to be incredibly hard to overcome, especially for a guy that struggled last go around. to not just get back to what you were, but need to be much better without consistent practice, training, or live gameplay... decks very stacked even without the weight.

JaMarcus Russell reportedly attracts NFL interest

 

"I've been following his comeback story pretty closely," one NFC scout told CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman on Thursday. "I think a lot of teams are. Good chance he gets a second shot."
