Ross really wants a new start

And while he is on his 3rd OC in 3 years, which would be tough for any player in his first 3 NFL seasons, I think the offensive minded head coach has plans for him to hit the ground running.

Hopefully he takes the next month and practices catching the damn ball.

This is an excellent point.  How is the kid supposed to have confidence when the HC not only didn't want him, but sure didn't put him in a good position to succeed.  That is where the (immature) "healthy scratch" video surfaced and Ross tried to tough it through injuries to prove himself to Marv but only ended up hurting his chances even more.

Marv wanted Reuben Foster...as did a lot of people on here.  He had so many legal issues he is already on his second team, and he tore his ACL in the first OTA.  Thank God that guy didn't end up here.  One of the things I love about the "New Dey" regime is the focus on character guys.  Lapham said there is "zero jerk factor" in that locker room.  A lot of folks will dismiss this, and might even give examples of jerks in winning teams, but I for one am happy they have made this an area of focus.
