I don't think he grasps the expectations at his position well which led him to Lewis's dog house early in his tenure with the Bengals. Ross is too small for crossing routes and could get killed if Dalton throws the ball high over the middle.
I think that's part of it...but I think another part of it is that 4.2 speed in college is a game change. CB's generally don't cover you that tight there. You may be 2 yards open. With that speed 3-5 yards open.
In the Pro's they're fast too and they can get physical to negate that speed and they can bring a safety over top. The DB's in the Pro's are 6 foot 1 also or 6 foot 2. So they're bigger than Ross.
I think it's a huge transition and I don't think he's able to mentally handle it.
