Ross was the 9th overall pick in the draft. If you don't think he's going to likely be starting here long term, you're fooling yourself. People always compare young slower receivers to Housh, but we'll be lucky if we ever see another #2 WR that productive. As much as I like Ross, I have my doubts that he'd be able to touch the 100 catch, 1000 yard seasons Housh was capable of.
