SAN DIEGO, California - Former Williamson High School football standout and NFL No. 1 draft pick JaMarcus Russell recently ran through some of the drills that pro prospects will face at the NFL Scouting Combine later this week in Indianapolis, Ind.

But Russell was on the football field of the Cathedral Catholic High School Dons in San Diego, working with Test West Football Academy as he starts a training regimen that he hopes will land him back in the NFL as a quarterback.

The website Bleacher Report is following Russell's journey and posted today its second episode of its video series on his work at Test West.

Russell, 27, spent three seasons with the Oakland Raiders after being taken out of LSU with the first pick of the 2007 NFL Draft. He was released by the Raiders in May 2010 and has been out of football since.

In this week's video, Russell tackles the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and broad jump before doing some throwing. Russell started his work at Test West weighing 310 pounds and is trying to get ready to perform for NFL personnel.

"I think he's got some hills to climb," Test Football Academy founder and CEO Brian Martin said.

Russell ran the 40 in 5.2 seconds. Martin said Russell's goal during the training would be 4.8 seconds, and he expected Russell to run even faster than that.

Russell cleared 29 inches in the vertical jump. Martin said Russell's goal would be 33 inches.

Russell went 7 feet, 4 inches in the broad jump. Martin said the goal would be 9 feet.

"I'm heavier than normal," Russell said. "This is just getting some perspective on where we're at.

"Once the pro day comes, I'll be in some great shape and my numbers will excel."

After the drills, Russell was turned over to four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Jeff Garcia, who tutored him on his footwork and mechanics while putting him through his passing paces.

"The guy's just naturally gifted," Garcia said.

In Bleacher Report's first episode, Russell learned his weight goal was 265 pounds.

During his three seasons in the NFL (2007-2009), Russell completed 354 of 680 passes for 4,083 yards and 18 touchdowns with 23 interceptions and had a 7-18 record as a starter.
