 JaMarcus
Russell
Quarterback, LSU
Height: 6'6" | Weight: 260
Positives:
Possesses rare size for a QB at 6’6, 260. Huge
frame makes him difficult to bring down. Will stand
tall and take the hit to make a throw. Possesses a quick
release and keeps his eyes up looking for targets. Has
tremendous arm strength, tops at the college level and
possibly even the NFL level. Has the ability to step
up into the pocket or to move outside. Can run if needed
and throws accurately while on the run.
Negatives:
Does not possess top-flight speed. Accuracy could be
better, although he’s improved. A bit raw as a
QB, needs to tune his mechanics. There are some questions
about his off-the-field work ethic.
Overall:
His arm
strength is miraculous. Threw a 58 yard TD (through
the air) against ND off of his back foot… while
on the run. Has a high ceiling in regards to potential…
could be an underachiever. Shows leadership at times
and could help to turn around a franchise.
