Former No. 1 pick JaMarcus Russell wrote a letter to NFL teams asking for a second chance

JaMarcus Russell is synonymous in the NFL with draft bust.

The No. 1 overall pick by the Oakland Raiders in 2007 knows that, doesn't particularly like it, but writes in a letter obtained by SI.com that he accepts the blame for it.

Judging from his letter, at least it sounds like he's mastered accountability.
