Jamarcus Russell
Why is he on this list? He was pretty well liked at LSU, I don't think he ran his mouth to the public like the other 3. Sure he flopped in the NFL, but so do many many other players.
I think the story about the blank blitz package DVD is absolutely hilarious, but not a reason to put him in company with the other 3 mentioned.

A family member of mine went to college with him. I actually met him once, he was very nice, straight up down to earth, a real gentleman.
Was that before or after his time in federal prison? People say prison can change a person.

Purple drank?

I saw ‘law enforcement’ and assumed we were discussing Billy Cannon. Seeing ‘purple drank’ makes me think we are discussing Jamarcus Russell.

I agree it is an oof. What other SEC Heisman winners have done time in federal prison for running a counterfeiting ring to pay off gambling debts?
quote:
Despite a successful practice, by 1983 he was in financial difficulties from bad real estate investments and gambling debts. Becoming involved in a counterfeiting scheme, he printed $6 million in U.S. 100-dollar bills, some of which he stored in ice chests buried in the back yard of a house he owned and rented out. Charged along with five others, he served two-and-a-half years of a five-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Texarkana. Upon his release in 1986, he regained his dentistry license but struggled to rebuild his practice. In 1995, he was hired as a dentist at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, initially as a contractor.
