The Facts:
JaMarcus Russell gets all the praise for being a great athlete. HC Lane Kiffin would say don't forget about McCown when talking about Raiders quarterbacks who can move. "Guys joke around, guys who have been around (McCown) on teams he's played at before. ... Talk about when they go play pickup basketball, he was the first guy that teams picked," Kiffin said. "And it was surprising for a quarterback."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Bee staffer Jason Jones, McCown has been showing off his nimble feet, which quarterbacks will need in the new offense, during workouts and not on the basketball court. "He really is a tremendous athlete and (has) great ability to escape pressure," Kiffin said. "He's even quicker when you go from drills to when, all of a sudden, we're in team and he even looks quicker. ..." In case you missed it, we consider McCown the favorite to start the regular season and hold down the spot until Russell is ready to take over.
