In his continuing quest to be the biggest NFL draft bust of all time, former Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell was arrested today in Mobile, Alabama for possession of a controlled substance – namely codine syrup. Russell, the 2001 #1 overall draft pick, was released by the Raiders in May, and is seemingly intent on continuing his downward spiral toward oblivion.
For those of you unfamiliar with hip-hop culture, codine syrup is the main ingredient in a drug cocktail known as “Purple Drank”, syrup or sizzurp, which has been popularized in the music of the Three 6 Mafia and Lil’ Wayne, among others. ESPN’s Outside the Lines recently did a feature on the rise of the sizzurp in sports:
Russell was released on $2500 bail, and will appear in court on Wednesday, July 7th. And somewhere, Ryan Leaf and Todd Marinovich are high-fiving.
