Article: Reception Perception - John Ross and Going Beyond Speed

[*ochocincos*]

I figured you all would find this at least somewhat enjoyable to read. I sure liked it.

I won't quote it all here, as it's a lengthy article. But it essentially posts a lot of good information to support that John Ross should be closer to a complete WR rather than just a deep threat. But here's a nice clip from the end...

Quote:We posed the question at the onset of this study as to what kind of small receiver John Ross really was. Is he the type of deep threat that only helps out in the vertical game or was there potential to reach out to the T.Y. Hilton-esque upper branches of the archetype?

After taking in Ross’ Reception Perception results, we can conclusively say he has more to offer as a complete package in a small frame than just his deep game. He created separation at different levels of the field and his success rate vs. coverage shows a player who wins with detail and athleticism.

That is an excellent read. Thanks!

I still don't get where everyone thinks that he is a "small frame" receiver? It's only been in recent years that really tall WRs have become the fashionable norm. If anything, he's an "average frame" receiver. Sure, length is great, but athleticism trumps all in receiving ability.

Awesome! Thanks!

Right? and one more time for the profoundly stupid:

Same here Sunset, been doing a lot of "not getting" today.

Then these same people say they know "all about" John Ross.

Been tough carrying this torch.

Great pick, he will score a lot of TD's for us, that is what he does.

Thanks Ocho, great read my friend.

Ha!!!

Look at Antonio Brown's slow as 40 time.

[THE PISTONS]

What I like is he is historically FAST and he has HANDS. That's the big part.

Mixon is a good receiver too.

He is rated better than Gio as a receiver according to one of the hundreds of draft articles published the past two days.

Watching Ross's highlights, he is a lot like AB after the catch.

Just gets up to speed a lot faster if you can believe it.
