We, among many people, have taken potshots at JaMarcus Russell over the past few months for myriad reasons. For his flameout with the Raiders, his runaway weight problem, etc. But it's time to give credit where credit is due. JaMarcus is looking slim, fit and ready for another shot at the NFL. The TEST facility, where he has been training, tweeted out a recent photo of the former No. 1 overall pick.

I don't know about you, but that's pretty damn impressive. According to Busted Coverage (via Deadspin), since starting the program in February, JaMarcus has shed 51 pounds and is now lighter than his pre-draft weight of 265 pounds from back in 2007. Props are in order. Here's to hoping an NFL team gives him a serious chance to land on a roster. Questions? Comments? Send them to lacesoutmail@gmail.com and we might respond in our weekly mailbag!
