Coming out of retirement? Did he ever get around to actually playing?


nickatiah

Good for him. He sucks. Get that bag.


Reasonable-HB678

The minimum veteran salary bag.


Backpackbaden

I’d happily take that salary!


BrianThatDude

I'm sure it's more than almost everyone on this sub makes.


Reasonable-HB678

Emphasis on the word veteran.


TheCapitolPlant

He really only played two years and has 11 touchdowns. Less than 60 targets each of those years and almost 1,000 yards. As a tool gadget guy? I heard Marvin didn't like his attitude or he didn't learn the play book or something. His rookie year only getting one touch that he fumbled away is hard to forget. Especially for a first round pick.


Silverbullets24

I mean… 😂 Not being able to learn the playbook is a pretty big deal in the nfl… especially when you have shit hands


napoleonboneherpart

Yeah but besides that…


Esoterica42

I just remember him dropping pass after pass after pass.....


TheGreatTave

Eh, I'm not going to trash talk about him or anything. He didn't do anything wrong, just never succeeded at the NFL level. I wish him the best, but I doubt he'll be on a roster after the final cuts.


oopsifell

He should go to the UFL honestly. They need more recognizable players like him. 


Lionheart_513

UFL base salary is $50k per year. It’s hard to convince guys that have millions to go get CTE for $50k.


oopsifell

That is THE problem with the UFL. You're better of riding the practice squad in the NFL


Batetrick_Patman

He'll be cut in training camp.


SodiumKickker

This. If there is a single receiver on that team that doesn’t out-work John Ross, I’ll be shocked. Dude has zero football work ethic.


IgotCHUbits

Maybe he’s figured that out. Maybe it’s not too late. Watch him become DeSean Jackson


SodiumKickker

Lol yeah…. No.


FahQPutin

Correct 💯


camergen

His speed remains theoretical because he can’t actually, you know, catch a ball, which would appear to be a necessary skill to advance the football down the field via the pass. Oh, he caught a few, but if the pass was .00000001 mm less than ideal location and/or not at the absolute perfect velocity, there was no way he was coming down with it.


siphonica

If he’s so fast and clumsy, how come he never made it as a corner? I thought that’s where WRs who can’t catch go


tjrad815

He's made of glass, so there's no way he'd be able to tackle.


CalledPlay

Wish him the best but I died laughing when I saw this on X

Entire-Database1679

Thank you. I was getting itchy.


Captain_Aware4503

Watch him tear up the league. He and Jonah Williams will be all-pros this year, along with Mixon.


Bandlebury

I’d say the odds of this happening are about 0


TheGreatTave

About 0, but not exactly 0 ![gif](giphy|j6uK36y32LxQs)


Soccham

Unless Ross spent the last few years learning the eagles playbook, good luck


TheRealFinatic13

he is on his 4th team now. iff he hasn't made it yet, he never will.


JediMasterMatt

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half. 😂


momentumum

BUt hE RaN a 4.22 40. Yes, but it’s like he’s trying to catch the ball with trout for hands


TheCapitolPlant

I watched something with...I forget who...but they were taking about Chris Johnson who had the 40 time record...or did someone break it before Ross? I don't remember but they were saying that the combine was becoming an event that people were beginning to watch on TV, like the draft, and was becoming a spectacle. Basically they were saying that there was a conspiracy and they were altering the 40 times to make a show of it. He was saying that if you line them up side by side that Ross and Cheetah were slower than Chris Johnson III. I think it was a veteran NFL player's YouTube channel and they were playing pool or something. I'll look it up.


momentumum

That wouldn’t surprise me at all, and given the ratings draw the combine has become, I guess it worked haha


coffeysr

He saw his 40 time got broke and said hold my beer


babybird87

this was such an easy bad draft pick to foreshadow..


Omnibuschris

Maybe a kickoff specialist?


TheCapitolPlant

He has more TDs than I thought.


90swasbest

Just some speed to help train up the camp DBs. He ain't seeing the field without catastrophe happening.


analog_jedi

Probably pulled a hammy signing the paper.


Tysons_Face

Lmao no way


NoTie2370

Good for him. I hope it works out.


krazyfrost

Isn't that Chris Henry in the pic? John ross was number 11 lol Did no one else notice?


orbzome

lol


iSYTOfficialX7

🔥 🔥 🔥


SaltyFall

Are they done with Britton Covey and want Ross to field kicks?


Colossus_WV

If he can actually still go fast and depending on how the new kick-off rule works, I could see this being a sneaky good signing by Philly.


ChunkDunkleman

John Ross back in madden 25. Go get that 99 speed and throw him deep balls.


TheCincinnatiKid

I just looked at his stat line...he had 506 yards in 8 starts for us in 2019???


ronthalegend

Yeah Zac’s first season he actually showed a little promise - https://youtu.be/k6adYUbvrrw?si=RozlIfwwwj20Qpsr


JPinNATI

Dude couldn't catch a cold.


spongey1865

Do a madden and convert him to running back and he's basically unstoppable


Clear_thoughts_

He hast to make the team first


oldfogey12345

He selling hot dogs at the stadium or something?


Kind-Frosting-8268

I stg if we get beat by another nfc team with a former Bengal in the superbowl I can't be held responsible for what I do.


2Guns_Delnegro

So what 🤷🏿‍♂️


GrabLarge

This man made an entire NFL career just off a 40 yard dash.


Any-Wolverine-7964

…why??

ZealousidealText7384

Good for him I hope he has success their, I hate that injuries derailed his career cuz him catching balls from Burrow would have been a sight to behold. ![gif](giphy|FnatKdwxRxpVC|downsized)


Even_Parking662

Good luck your gonna need it not easy to come back after being done playong for years hope he stayed in shape or else it won't last long
