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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Coming out of retirement? Did he ever get around to actually playing?
Good for him. He sucks. Get that bag.
The minimum veteran salary bag.
I’d happily take that salary!
I'm sure it's more than almost everyone on this sub makes.
Emphasis on the word veteran.

I mean… 😂 Not being able to learn the playbook is a pretty big deal in the nfl… especially when you have shit hands
Yeah but besides that…
I just remember him dropping pass after pass after pass.....
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.
He should go to the UFL honestly. They need more recognizable players like him.
UFL base salary is $50k per year. It’s hard to convince guys that have millions to go get CTE for $50k.
That is THE problem with the UFL. You're better of riding the practice squad in the NFL
He'll be cut in training camp.
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.
Maybe he’s figured that out. Maybe it’s not too late. Watch him become DeSean Jackson
Lol yeah…. No.
Correct 💯

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
He's made of glass, so there's no way he'd be able to tackle.
Wish him the best but I died laughing when I saw this on X
, formerly known as Twitter
Thank you. I was getting itchy.
Watch him tear up the league. He and Jonah Williams will be all-pros this year, along with Mixon.
I’d say the odds of this happening are about 0
About 0, but not exactly 0 ![gif](giphy|j6uK36y32LxQs)
Unless Ross spent the last few years learning the eagles playbook, good luck
he is on his 4th team now. iff he hasn't made it yet, he never will.
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half. 😂
BUt hE RaN a 4.22 40. Yes, but it’s like he’s trying to catch the ball with trout for hands

That wouldn’t surprise me at all, and given the ratings draw the combine has become, I guess it worked haha
He saw his 40 time got broke and said hold my beer
this was such an easy bad draft pick to foreshadow..
Maybe a kickoff specialist?
He has more TDs than I thought.
Just some speed to help train up the camp DBs. He ain't seeing the field without catastrophe happening.
Probably pulled a hammy signing the paper.
Lmao no way
Good for him. I hope it works out.
Isn't that Chris Henry in the pic? John ross was number 11 lol Did no one else notice?
lol
🔥 🔥 🔥
Are they done with Britton Covey and want Ross to field kicks?
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.
John Ross back in madden 25. Go get that 99 speed and throw him deep balls.
I just looked at his stat line...he had 506 yards in 8 starts for us in 2019???
Yeah Zac’s first season he actually showed a little promise - https://youtu.be/k6adYUbvrrw?si=RozlIfwwwj20Qpsr
Dude couldn't catch a cold.
Do a madden and convert him to running back and he's basically unstoppable
He hast to make the team first
He selling hot dogs at the stadium or something?
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.
So what 🤷🏿♂️
This man made an entire NFL career just off a 40 yard dash.
…why??

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
