People talk like he's 5'7" and 140 lbs or something. I get that we're used to the Bengals drafting tall receivers, but 5'11" is pretty close to average height at the position...maybe a touch below. Ross is the same size or bigger than:
Antonio Brown (the best WR in the NFL is smaller than Brown ffs)
Desean Jackson
TY Hilton
Brandin Cooks
Emmanual Sanders
Golden Tate
Randall Cobb
Julian Edelman
Jarvis Landry
Doug Baldwin
Stefon Diggs
Willie Snead
Marqise Lee
Jamison Crowder
Cole Beasley
and Steve Smith
That's just among the top 43 most productive WRs from last year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
