John Ross News
Former Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants wide receiver John Ross, whose 4.22-second 40-yard dash was the NFL scouting combine record until Xavier Worthy broke it earlier this year, will take part in the Philadelphia Eagles' rookie camp this week on a tryout basis, according to sources. Ross had retired last year but is now attempting to make a comeback. The 28-year-old speedster ended up being a bust after the Bengals took him with the ninth overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft out of Washington. Ross last played for the G-Men in 2021 and had 11 catches for 224 yards and one touchdown in 10 games (one start). In his five years in the NFL, he caught 62 of 143 targets for 957 yards and 11 scores in 37 games (21 starts). Ross will be a long shot to make the Eagles' active roster in 2024, let alone be fantasy relevant.
The Kansas City Chiefs placed wide receiver John Ross on the Reserve/Retired list on Wednesday, according to the league's transaction wire. Ross is the record-holder for the fastest 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine at 4.22 seconds. He was the ninth overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017 out of Washington, but he ended up being a bust in the NFL. The 27-year-old had just 51 catches on 123 targets for 733 yards and 10 touchdowns in 27 games (20 starts) in his four seasons with the Bengals. In 10 games (one start) for the New York Giants in 2021, Ross caught 11 passes for 224 yards and one score.
The Kansas City Chiefs signed wide receiver John Ross to a Reserve/Futures deal on Monday, according to a source. The Chiefs now have the ninth and 10th picks from the 2017 NFL draft with their franchise in Ross and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Ross did not play in the NFL at all during the 2022 season after missing the final four games of 2021 with a knee injury while with the New York Giants. The 27-year-old speedster has been unable to stay healthy for a full season in five NFL seasons, but the Chiefs will take a flier on him. In 37 career games (21 starts), Ross has piled up 62 receptions on 143 targets for 957 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Cincinnati Bengals and Giants.
