The best comments in the thread, IMO.

My hopes are that he does great.

But I expect that he'll be the 3rd or 4th WR going into the season and will likely fail to beat out LaFell in training camp. I can see him getting a few starts this year.

Ross is an exceptional talent athletically, but he's far from an exceptional football player. The two are not the same. There have been some average athletic guys who have been exceptional football players and since this is the game of football I'll take the football player every time. Ogbuehi was a better athlete than Whit but he's a down right p***y of a football player.

Can Ross block in the running and passing is a question I have. Does anyone know the answer to that?

Personally, if I were the coach, I'd assign him returner duty to get him on the field while he learns. He was a good returner in college.
