John Ross: The Fastest Man in Football
John Ross’ prospect profile has one red flag: Age. Ross needed all four years of college to come back from a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus in both knees, and he is heading for surgery before the NFL Draft. These injuries cost him all of 2015 and partially explain his late breakout.
Much like another speedster, Will Fuller, shot up draft boards after the NFL Scouting Combine in 2016, Ross is on the short list to be selected as the first wide receiver in April’s NFL Draft after his dominant showing at the NFL Scouting Combine.
