How good will JaMarcus Russell be at the Pro Level?

[Daseal]

As far as staying in school, if you have a great Junior year you could leave a lot of money on the table. Even if you don't get hurt, look at Matt Leinart. Or you could get hurt.

As far as Russell, the guy has impressive physical stats. And looks like he could be great. I'm a firm believer that most everyone drafted during the first day can play football at the pro level. I feel it's more about the team that drafts them rather than the player. It all comes down to development of the player and scheme. Sometimes you'll see an extraordinary player who can excel anywhere, and sometimes you'll find a player who might be depth elsewhere excel with the correct team.
