Apparently the ‘link’ button is still not working, at least on my phone.
‘foose…And this one’s on me, ’cause you saw it in the wayback too.
Remember when I said he’s gotta give up baseball?
Damn. There wasn’t about 2 people that saw this coming back in 2009ish.
Too bad for moi that I burned so many bridges in the scouting world.
CD don’t know how many times I’ve quoted you to my younger “peeps” that you said Russell would play in the NFL way long before he would make the show in baseball. Guess he’s not only playing but PLAYING in the NFL……
…Thanks Luuuuke.
When I”m right it’s because of peeps I’ve been fortunate enough to have grown up around.
When I’m wrong it’s because I got away from the game plan.
Good story, but sounds a little like revisionist history to me… color me skeptical as to the specific details mentioned.

I missed on that one completely. I thought he would be a solid NFL backup, but that’s it. I also thought he was nuts to pass up guaranteed MLB scrilla. Oops.
Go back to the archives – I always said RW had “it” and would be given a shot at the NFL because of “it” but I also said he would never be more than a backup/journeyman because of his height. The example I gave was Flutie. Flutie also had “it” and all the guy ever did was win, no matter where he was. But the NFL? Too short they said and never really gave him a chance. Flutie tore it up in the CFL and when he finally got a shot in the NFL, he led his team to the playoffs, only to be replaced the next year because he was too small.
I am thrilled to see RW doing well and excelling but I just not believe he would be given a fair chance at the next level. Glad I was wrong.
