Combine best
DLF: Ross broke Chris Johnson’s previous 40-yard dash record of 4.24 seconds. Adidas offered an island to any prospect that broke Johnson’s record, but unfortunately, Ross decided to decline on Adidas’ offer since he doesn’t know how to swim. He has elite speed and has the potential to be a nightmare for defensive backs at the next level. Brandin Cooks seems like an accurate comp when it comes to athleticism and style of play. Cooks is a little bit more diverse when it comes to route running but both players are very dangerous with the ball in their hands.
NFL Overview: If there's one thing you know about John Ross, it's that he's fast. His combine-record 4.22-second 40-yard dash should be all the proof you need. Ross is in the upper echelon of WRs in this draft class and you don't have to watch much tape on him to see why. Every snap has the potential to go to the house -- something he also did occasionally as a kick returner. The two concerns he'll face entering the league will be his ability to win versus press coverage and a lengthy injury history. His best fit could be with a team needing a field-stretcher on the outside but regardless of where he lands, he'll be an intriguing fantasy
prospect.
DRAFT ANALYSIS: "Let's give this kid his due. Quick and explosive. Questions about his medical. He's got shoulder injuries and knee injuries." -- Mike Mayock
