Easily chad
Russell doesn't deserve to make any team due to his pitiful work ethic

Neither have a very good chance but I'm pulling for Chad more that JaMarcus.

Still pulling for JaMarcus too.

easily chad? lol, the guy will be LUCKY to be close to what he was. Jamarcus has a better shot by a mile. Chad is trying to recover from a devastating car wreck that nearly took his leg and something he's been rehabbing for 3 years. Jamarcus is fat.

Also, not to mention, Chad has never played a game in the NFL and really nothing more than a few off season rookie workouts. No one has any idea how good he would have been prior to the accident and no one has a clue at all if he's half as good now. I always laugh when people want him on "insert team" without having any idea of what he can do on the field.

I love chad and would rather him excell than Russell, but get real people. It will take a miracle for Chad to ever make an NFL roster. Jamarcus just needs to work harder than he did before.

Jones. CJ has a protestant work ethic. Jarmacus works for Purple Drank.

Russell. I just don't see Chad making it. He still had a major hitch in his step last time I saw him run.

Yeah I'm actually going to go left field and say JaMarcus....all he has to do is lose some weight and show that he gives a frick and someone will sign him.

Chad has a very steep uphill battle ahead of him. His comeback has been remarkable though and I hope he gets picked up before JaMarcus.

All of this. That isn't a shot at Jones despite the feeling on this board that saying something good about one player is automatically saying something bad about another. JaMarcus still likely has a cannon. If he suddenly developed work ethic and got into professional athlete shape, then the only thing stopping him from making it in the NFL will be whether or not he actually CAN play in the NFL. That remains to be seen...but with his skill set there is no reason why an NFL team wouldn't take a look if he's in shape and ready to go.

Jones still needs to fully recover from a devastating injury that would have crippled most people.

Good luck to both of our former Tigers!

JRock is lobbying hard. He's down on the field at Super Bowl Media Day right now. Wonder how he got down there.

Jamarcus. Chad Jones is not the athlete he was. He has zero chance. Jamarcus has 0.00001% chance.

The best chance of those two earning a professional athlete paycheck is CJ in baseball.

oh really?

hey Jamarcus, if you're reading this, check out the ESPN 30 for 30 on Marcus Dupree where he makes his NFL comeback after the knee injury. specifically the part where he goes and works out in a makeshift weight room/ sweat box to lose like 100 pounds. go do that, then tell us you're coming back.

we're pulling for you.

The better chance? Jamarcus. He is still physically intact. Jones was crippled by his accident.
