Russell James Maryland (born March 22, 1969 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former National Football League player, who, in a career lasting ten serviceable years, played defensive tackle and nose tackle for the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, and the Green Bay Packers.
Maryland was the first overall pick in the 1991 NFL Draft, by the Dallas Cowboys. Even though the Cowboys made the playoffs that year, they used a draft choice acquired in a trade involving Herschel Walker to make the #1 overall choice. Maryland played his college ball at the University of Miami, and attended high school at Whitney Young High School, a Chicago Public School.
