My bad... My point was Leaf was an example of a selfish player that had immense talent but not desire or intellect to learn. Leaf had no brain and JR as of today has not shown any ability to understand defensive schemes, how they disguise them nor to even understand the receiver route patterns on the college level. What makes any one think JR is ready for the NFL. He is not even ready for top 10 Division 1. I hope he learns his play book and proves to everyone he has the intellect to challenge the best defenses in the Division 1 next year.
If you think Russell would be drafted based on "potential," consider this. Rohan Davey was selected in the FOURTH ROUND after showing a ton of ability to play football on a high level and win. There are only seven rounds, so your argument's not looking too bright...
