JaMarcus Russell sits down to talk about life, his time with the Oakland Raiders.

On Tuesday, The Pivot Podcast posted an interview held with the Raiders’ former first-overall pick, JaMarcus Russell.

During the interview, The Pivot and Russell touched on the former NFL quarterbacks time with the Raiders. As the conversation went on, Ryan Clark, a host of The Pivot Podcast, eventually asked the tough questions.

“Do you consider yourself the biggest bust in NFL draft history?”, Clark asked Russell.

“If you’re gonna call me a bust.. Put ‘the biggest’ on that motherf***er”

While JaMarcus was quite upfront with his underwhelming career, he was just as quick to bring his old Raiders’ team down with him. From claiming the Raiders set him up to fail, to going as far as stating the coaching staff singled him out at random in film studies, Russell didn’t hold back on the team he once played for. Not so coincidentally, feeling sorry for himself is exactly why his NFL career flopped.
