Friday Is His Day

JeMarcus Russell is a story that never ends. The first overall pick of 2007 who was one of the league's all-time busts has a tryout scheduled with the Chicago Bears on Friday.

Russell made untold millions and blew it all. He was out of the league before he even knew. He made a lot of money, but he must always wear the tag of the worst overall pick ever.

He can only hope to sign a contract and get to training camp. A guy so immensely talented is bound to interest some teams. Russell has worked with a trainer and lost 50 pounds to get down to his playing weight of 265.

Have his skills eroded? We shall find out on Friday when he gets his test. It's worth a shot on both sides.
