Earlier today I saw on TV that a car ran off the road, knocked over a fire hydrant and ran into a bus. Former NFL lineman Darrell Russell was in that car.
Russell was the second pick in the 1997 NFL Draft, behind Orlando Pace but ahead of Tony Gonzalez, Warrick Dunn and Walter Jones. Russell played the with Raiders, Buccaneers and very briefly the Redskins.
He could not stay out of trouble and had a couple suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
He was also involved in a bizarre incident in which he was accused of drugging a woman and then having two of his friends have sex with the woman while he recorded it on his video camera and shouted out directions, like "give her the business."
A sad end to an all-too-familiar story, people who seemingly have everything end up with nothing.
