Foreclosure proceedings have started on Russell's Oakland mansion, according to TMZ. If the former LSU star can't come up with $195,512.05 in backed mortgage payments in the next three months, his house will be auctioned off.

Russell purchased the house in 2007 for $3 million before he even signed his contract with the Raiders.

I hope he never leaves the lime light. His legacy may exceed Ryan Leaf's.

He seemed like a pretty good prospect. Dude could throw the ball 60 yards on his knees.
