This photo pretty much sums up his short pitiful career. Al Davis embarrassed himself, his organization and the Raider nation with this stalwart pick. A friend of mine rode home on a plane with this guy sitting next to him. He had just signed his contract. JaMarcus had so much gold around his neck, Fort Knox would have been jealous.
