Notes:
2007 Sugar Bowl MVP...First Team All-SEC performer as a senior...2006 Davey O'Brien Award semifinalist...Rumored to be the front runner for the top pick in this draft...A mammoth quarterback at 6-6 and 263 pounds, Russell looks like a defensive end in regard to his build...Compiled a 25-4 record as a starter at LSU and ranks in the top five all-time for the program in most major passing categories despite skipping his senior season to enter this draft...Has arm strength to rival any quarterback playing in the NFL right now...A freakishathlete with the type of quick feet typically found on a player 50 pounds lighter...Possesses an efficient, well-tuned throwing motion that will not need tweaking at the pro level...Defenders bounce off Russell, who is rarely brought down by one man...Has all the tools necessary to be a star at the NFL level, but may need a year to develop and learn an NFL system.
