The Las Vegas Raiders over the past few years have been in the news for some infamous things. Well, even more news from an alumnus who was drafted #1 overall in 2007 and that was Jamarcus Russell. Russell who never really panned out went to coaching football after his short time in the NFL. He had been working with his alma mater in Mobile Alabama as a special assistant. He went to local businesses asking for donations for the team. One business owner made a deal with Russler for $74,000.00 to be used in weight room necessities. The owner handed the check over to Russell who then deposited it into a credit union and immediately withdrew $55,000.00.
Once he was caught, he was fired from his position and was banned from coming to games or being around any players. Russell earned close to $37 million during his time and why he needed the $74k will learn as it comes out.
