I don't think we've seen this type before. He's got way more speed than guys like Shipley, and way more skills than guys like Austin, Jackson, Ginn, Heywood-bey. The guy is smart - a student of the game. He improves over time, he's totally into improving and being the best.
The biggest concern is his injury history. But that, for me, is tempered by the fact that he produced big time with a shoulder injury last year. The guy is mentally tough.
I'm not going to lie. I have concerns about him staying on the field playing in the AFC North. But he's a baller and I think the odds are better than the common assessment that he's too small and brittle for the NFL.
Hope I'm right! If I am he'll be really special.
Good post. I think Ross has everything you want in a 1st round pick...the talent, skill set, work ethic, passion for the game and desire to get better. If he stays healthy, I agree with you...he could wind up being a special player.
