not to mention, he'd be the smallest O linemen in the nfl!
A no. of college qb's have made the transition to wr successfully, but it's usually taken them a few years to get playing time at wr & in the meantime they've returned kicks, and/or played the role Smith does in NY, ARE used to in Pitt.
With Russell he's older & fatter, though maybe he's slimmed back down. He would really have to impress in workouts from a conditioning & athleticism standpoint to get a team to sign him w/the intent of moving him to another position. It would be quite a project I imagine.
