Washington. John Ross. 32. player. 123. He may be less 6’0″, and under 200 pounds, but Ross has the speed, quickness and fluidity make up for it. He reportedly ran a 4.25 in the 40-yard dash to drop jaws last spring. Ross releases off the line of scrimmage well and is an excellent route runner. <p>He’s also very dangerous after the catch and most importantly, he has dependable hands. Despite his lack of ideal size, there’s nothing he can’t do as he even wins jump balls. No one thought much of him before but he ran his way into the first-round of the 2017 NFL draft.</p> <p>The NFL world was especially put on notice when he broke Jackson’s ankles against USC. The Dallas Cowboys would be wise to pick Ross with the No. 32 overall selection. A speedster on the other side of Dez Bryant would open things up for him in the intermediate are.</p> <p>Opposing defenses won’t be able to simply focus on Ezekiel Elliott and the running game. Slot receiver Cole Beasley would even have more room to operate underneath. But when safeties do creep up into the box. Dak Prescott can throw deep to Ross with that big arm.</p>. WR
