Jamarcus Russell ‘made it rain’ during Raiders rookie talent show

Jamarcus Russell is widely known as one of the biggest draft busts of all time. He was drafted first overall by the Raiders in 2007 and promptly held out for more money. He is one of the major reasons behind the NFL’s current rookie salary slotting scale.

I’m sure this is supposed to be a negative, but damn I respect this. Probably brought the house down.
