JaMarcus Russell Adds Mortgage Payments to the List of Things He Can’t Complete
According to the investigative humans at TMZ, “foreclosure proceedings have begun on the former #1 overall draft pick's house after he allegedly failed to pay $195,512.05 in mortgage payments.”
There are no details about Russell’s home, but if he’s like most professional athletes it’s probably a modest abode filled with reasonably priced automobiles.
Although the former Raider – who has garnered attention from competitive eating scouts – does have non-football career options, it’s unlikely that he’ll find too many multimillion dollar job postings on Monster.com with job duties that include “getting fat” and “making Al Davis sad.”
