But, being the 9th overall pick, can't we at least expect him to beat out Boyd, Malone or Erickson for some playing time as the #5 WR?
Before we start talking about him being a #1 or #2 or even a #3 WR on the team doesn't he need to out play someone first? Maybe one and all are forgetting that even when healthy he barely earned being active. He played in 3 games, but was a healthy inactive for at least that many other games. People will see that he played in 3 games and think he was injured for 13 games. But that's not the case at all. he didn't get in done in practice sufficiently for Marv to put him on the active roster, so the team just left him at home.
Ross admitted that he was dealing with a bad shoulder injury that he tried to hide all year. He did not admit it to the coaches until he decided it was getting worse instead of better. That was when he was placed on IR.
I fully expect Ross to be one of our top 3 WRs this year if he is healthy. Hopefully #2 behind only Green.
