Sure, there will be times big corners will get a chance to jam Ross. But the same can be said to players like Cooks, DeSean Jackson, and Antonio Brown, yet they are still able to produce because of their speed and quickness. Ross is extremely quick, not just straight line fast. He's also very good at route running. Ross has proven he can beat press coverage before.

EDIT - Size comparison between Ross, Cooks, Jackson, Brown, and Corey Coleman
John Ross - 5'10", 188 lbs, 4.22 40
Brandin Cooks - 5'10", 189 lbs, 4.33 40
DeSean Jackson - 5'10", 175 lbs, 4.35 40
Antonio Brown - 5'10", 181 lbs, 4.47 40
Corey Coleman - 5'10", 185 lbs, 4.37 40

So as you can see, there are plenty of receivers in the NFL that are small and fast, but find ways to win with speed, footwork, route running, and hands.
