NFL Fans Are Comparing Quarterback Dwayne Haskins to JaMarcus Russell — Here's Why.
Dec. 29 2020, Published 5:56 p.m. ET.
On Dec. 28, the public was informed that NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins had been cut from the Washington Football team. The news of his release comes less than a day after the 2019 first-round draft pick lost to the Carolina Panthers and was fined $40,000 for breaking COVID-19 rules as he was seen partying without a mask (via AP ).
"My time with the WFT has unfortunately come to an end,” he tweeted. “I thank the team & fans for the opportunity to play for the team I grew up rooting for. I take full responsibility for not meeting the standards of an NFL QB & will become a better man & player because of this experience.”
Following the news of his release, people took to Twitter and compared the young quarterback to JaMarcus Russell.
What happened to JaMarcus Russell?
After going 15th overall in the NFL draft in 2019, sports analysts and fans have compared the young player to former Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus.
In 2007, the LSU alum was the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft after finishing 25-4 at his alma mater. However, after just three seasons with the Oakland (now Las Vegas) Raiders, JaMarcus was cut from the team having thrown more interceptions than touchdowns at 23-18.
After being cut from the team in 2010, he attempted two comebacks into the NFL (2013 and 2016), but he has never played another snap (via Fan Buzz ).
During a 2016 interview with Sports Illustrated , he even said he would play for free. “Whatever it is — I can be a water boy and work my way into a scout team,” he said. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll go play for free.”

He's in! Raiders great HC Tom Flores Hall of Fame wait is finally over.
It's been 22 years since Tom Flores was first eligible to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The two-time Super Bowl winning head coach of the Raiders couldn't crack the logjam for enshrinement. Until now.
He was named the lone coaching finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame by the senior committee and the word has come down that he will be part of the class of 2021. ESPN's Paul Gutierrez was first to report Flores has been given the nod.
Flores spent most of his NFL career with the Raiders as a player and returned as a coach.
Legendary Raiders super fan to be enshrined in Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Tonight three former Raiders await word to see if they will be part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2021. They will sit in their hotel rooms in Tampa, ahead of the NFL Honors show and await for the knock on the door. But Friday night, another Raiders legend had the same experience.
His name is Wayne Mabry. But most of you probably know him better as Violator. The stripe-faced mainstay Super Fan featured in basically every NFL broadcast of a Raiders home game the past three decades.
5 biggest draft day blunders in NFL history.
JaMarcus Russell, QB, Oakland Raiders, No. 1, 2007.
The top pick of the Raiders in 2007 only lasted three seasons in the NFL. Although he started 25 of the 31 games in which he played, Russell was turnover prone, throwing 23 interceptions and fumbling 25 times. The writing was on the wall for Russell when the Raiders traded for Jason Campbell before the 2010 season. Russell finished with a career passer rating of 65.2. Ouch.
Ki-Jana Carter, RB, Cincinnati Bengals, No. 1, 1995.
The Bengals traded up in the 1995 NFL Draft to select the former Penn State running back with the first overall pick. But he barely saw the field during his time in Cincinnati, tearing a ligament in his knee on his third carry in the first preseason game of his rookie year. The injury forced him to miss the entire 1995 season. Carter returned to play in all 16 games in 1996 and all but one game in 1997 before breaking his wrist in the 1998 season opener. He was placed on injured reserve after dislocating a kneecap in the third game of the 1999 season and was released by the Bengals the next year.
Ryan Leaf, QB, San Diego Chargers, No. 2, 1998.
The No. 2 overall pick from Washington State wasted little time drawing the ire of the Chargers, skipping the final day of a mandatory rookie symposium and incurring a $10,000 fine. Three days before the third game of his rookie season, Leaf was hospitalized for a viral infection that he attributed to "turf burn," played poorly in a 23-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs (completing only one of 15 passes for 4 yards with two interceptions and four fumbles) and then went on a locker room tirade aimed at a San Diego reporter that was caught on camera. He was soon after benched for the remainder of the 1998 season. The downward spiral continued in 1999, when Leaf suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in his first training camp workout, had to be restrained by coaches after being heckled by a fan and was suspended after getting into a shouting match with general manager Bobby Beathard. Leaf returned for the 2000 season, but the damage had been done. He was released in 2001, having won just four games as a starter, had a failed comeback attempt with the Dallas Cowboys and finished his NFL career with a putrid 14-to-36 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
Charles Rogers, WR, Detroit Lions, No. 2, 2003.
The former Michigan State star couldn't make it through a full season in the three years he spent in Detroit. The second overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft suffered a season-ending injury in the fifth game of his rookie year. He suffered another season-ending injury in the 2004 opener and returned to his home state of Florida as the Lions carried on without him. A third violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy in 2005 resulted in a four-game suspension and led the Lions to file a grievance, claiming the team was owed $10 million of the $14.2 million Rogers received in bonuses for violating a clause in his contract. Rogers amassed just four touchdowns in his brief NFL career. He died of liver failure in Fort Myers, Florida, last year at the age of 38.
Vernon Gholston, DE, New York Jets, No. 6, 2008.
The sixth overall pick in the 2008, this former Ohio State pass rusher started just five games in three seasons with the Jets and never recorded a sack. That's hardly the kind of production expected from the defensive end who set a school record for the Buckeyes with 14 sacks as a redshirt junior in 2007. He was cut after three seasons and never caught on with another NFL team.
