fwiw, mike williams is also a raider now.
Mr. Irrelevant? He went before Leak or Zabransky. Kinda funny thing about that BcS. The winning QBs in the two best upsets of the bowl season didn't get drafted.
Part of an article on Russell from SI:
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- JaMarcus Russell dropped back and fired a pass though tight coverage that hit fellow rookie Johnathan Holland between the 1 and the 8 on his jersey.
The top pick with the rocket arm made an immediate impression on the Oakland Raiders in his first practice Friday.
"I think that kid, 18, is in there getting a rubdown," defensive tackle Warren Sapp said. "Caught that square-in, I bet he's got some markings on his chest. If nothing else, we're going to learn to catch with our hands or somebody's going to the hospital for some trauma. That kid's got a live arm so let's have some fun with it."
