According to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter via his Twitter page, quarterback JaMarcus Russell reportedly weighed 290 pounds when he checked into the Raiders’ offseason program.

Two people reported that Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell returned to Oakland and tipped the scales at 290 pounds. At least he was under 3 bills.

All right, who’s not telling the entire truth? Because a couple of weeks ago, Willie Brown, the Raiders director of squad development, said Russell was “transforming his body” this offseason. Unless by “transforming his body” Brown meant that Russell was adding weight in order to become a left tackle, this isn’t exactly what people had in mind when the initial reports came out.

Of course, the fact that Russell showed up to a camp overweight isn’t a surprise seeing as how he’s always overweight around this time of year. In fact, nothing should surprise us about Russell. He’s destined to become the biggest bust in NFL draft history.
