Why Washington Wr John Ross Makes Sense For Eagles, According To Mike Mayock

... Mayock went so far as to compare Ross to Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller, who caught 47 passes for 635 yards and two touchdowns after being chosen with the No. 21 overall pick last year. Cornerbacks Mayock says Eagles should target. "I think Ross has Will Fuller type speed and he ran a 4.33," Mayock said. "I think this kid can run just as fast as Fuller, but he's quicker and I think that he is a better natural pass-catcher than Fuller is. If you take the medical out of it and just say vertical stretch, quick, fast and good hands, Ross is very intriguing as an Eagles prospect.". Ross finished last season with 81 catches for 1,150 yards and 17 touchdowns. Here is a scouting report of Ross, via __link__. Has home-run gear to yank the top off of defenses. Vertical speed demands respect and creates open throws underneath. Corners open hips early to turn and sprint, leaving his curl and dig routes unchallenged. Feet are fire. On verticals from the slot, sells the corner route and stems to the post with a burst for easy separation and a comfortable throwing window for the quarterback. Hands are generally solid. Plus hand-eye ...

John Ross Made A Case To Be The 1st Wide Receiver Drafted

... a big advantage. But Davis didn’t participate at the combine due to ankle surgery and won’t run at his pro day either. Williams also didn’t run, saying he’ll do so at the Clemson pro day and that he isn’t worried about the possibility of a slow time. “Jerry Rice didn't run a fast time,” Williams said. “Antonio Brown didn't run a fast time. He's the highest-paid receiver in the league right now. It's all about just playing football if you look at it at the end of the day.". Davis and Williams were both plenty productive and showed more than enough to be top receivers. But 4.22 is special. Maybe enough that Ross is in the conversation to go ahead of Davis and/or Williams. It will depend on team needs. For now, the needs of NFL teams are fluid. Free agency will begin on March 9 and many of the most glaring needs — like the ...

Smallish John Ross Could Be Big Help To Eagles' Offense

... offensive MVP and the Pac-12's offensive player of the year. "I'm not one-dimensional," Ross said Friday. "I'm a guy who can move around, play different positions, be explosive. "I don't want to be a guy who can just go deep. I want to be able to do a lot of things with my game.". Ross is a native of Long Beach, Calif., which also happens to be the hometown of another pretty fast, undersized wideout by the name of De Sean Jackson. Jackson and Ross are friends. The former Eagle has taken the younger player under his wing. "He's taught me how to use my speed," Ross said. "When to turn it on and turn it off. Because growing up, I never really had anybody to monitor me. I just basically was running out there. "I was so gifted with speed, I just used that. But as you get older, a lot of people get faster, a lot of people get smarter. You can't just run past everybody, because people's techniques change and everybody gets better with age.". There are some injury concerns about Ross. He is scheduled to have surgery later this month to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. The recovery time for a torn labrum is four to six months, which means ...

John Ross Kind Of Calls His Shot, Then Runs Fastest-ever 40 At Nfl Combine

... GOODNESS. There was a little bit of debate about his exact time. Scout in back of me had 4.21 on John Ross first run. #NFLCombine. Me: 4.25. — Gil Brandt (@Gil_Brandt) March 4, 2017. But it’s going to go down as the official record. The 4.22 time that Washington WR John Ross recorded is now official. He has broken the NFL Combine 40-yard dash record. — Dave Miller (@Miller_Dave) March 4, 2017. And there probably have been similarly fast times, just not at the combine. Prior to today at #NFLCombine , fastest time I had personally recorded was 4.22 by Phillip Riley @FSU_Football in 1996 at pro day on track. — Phil Savage (@Senior Bowl Phil) March 4, 2017. The quick pace most likely erased any lingering doubts about his surgically repaired right knee. Ross, whose previous best 40 time was 4.25, missed the entire 2015 season with a torn ACL but returned in 2016 ...

Day 2 Nfl Combine Winners, Losers

... receiver, yet offers teams a big-bodied pass catcher with exceptional route-running skills to target on critical downs (third-down and red zone). Considering the impact that Jordan Reed and other hybrids have had on the game, Engram's stock is bound to rise following his performance in Indy. Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami: The Hurricanes' QB 1 didn't have his fastball working during the positional workout on the turf. Kaaya missed on a handful of throws at intermediate and deep range that highlighted some concerns about his arm strength and accuracy. In addition, he failed to address concerns about his athleticism when he elected to sit out the 40. While a workout doesn't replace the film, Kaaya's ho-hum showing will make it hard for scouts to sell him as a franchise quarterback in some rooms. Isaiah Ford, WR, Virginia Tech: The Hokies' big-play receiver was expected to dazzle evaluators with his speed and explosiveness in drills, but scouts came away disappointed in his athleticism after he posted a pair of 4.6 s in the 40. He further damaged his stock with a handful of drops that raised more questions about ...

Potential Redskins Draft Target John Ross Posts Blazing 40-time For New Record

... available for comment. "The Redskins signed coach Jay Gruden to a two-year extension, according to a source. Gruden is entering the fourth year of his original five-year deal," Keim wrote. Since a season ending loss to the New York Giants on January 1, the 'Skins have been thrust into turmoil. General manager Scot Mc Cloughan is not with the team at the NFL Scouting Combine, and the future of quarterback Kirk Cousins and the team remains up in the air. In three seasons as head coach, Gruden has a record 21-26-1. In the last two seasons, Gruden has guided the Redskins to a 17-14-1 record with one NFC East title. How likely is this proposed Redskins-Cowboys 3-way trade. The Redskins have been slow to talk with some of their pending free agents this year, but good news has emerged with ...

Sure, Call It A Comeback

... for much of the game against USC, but not John Ross. Another eight catches (for 154 yards) including this video-game move at the line of scrimmage against All-American Adoree’ Jackson. Watch him jab inside in the above clip. That isn’t simply a juke; it’s an Allen Iverson cross-over. Joel Klatt was calling the game for Fox and said that Jackson “slipped.’ Gus Johnson quickly corrected him: “That’s not a slip, Joel Klatt. That is what we call an ankle-breaker.”. To quote my partner in the UW Dawg Pound “Film Study” series Brad Johnson, John Ross’ legs are “made of space-age material.” What Ross learned to do last season was use his speed as a deep threat to set up other patterns on the route tree. That’s not to imply that Ross has mastered the route tree, not even close. But with his space-age gift and a quarterback who makes accurate throws that are on time, he ...
