I doubt that Russell could be taught to do the tackling duties associated with the cornerback position and I SERIOUSLY doubt that he could learn to read the offensive shifts and thus adjust his defensive responsibilities in the time it takes to run a play.


If he is going to be valuable to a football team in the NFL, sonebody has to teach him how to catch a damned football and no one has been able to do that yet.

Ahhh, perhaps your implying that a houseplant would give Russell a run for his money in the IQ department?

Didn't we trade up to pick this guy? or was that Bauman?
