Ross tries to cool expectations

I think Ross is just trying to get used to the speed of the game. At each level of football, the game gets faster and faster. As he gains his footing and gets comfortable, he will also continue to get faster and faster. True, with the pads on, he's not going to run 4.22 on the field. He's still going to be able to blow past DBs and win foot races to the end zone. He'll get there. While his quotes aren't the best, I think it's a kid trying to get used to the speed of the game. Once the game slows down for him, it'll be incredible.

I also think he did a good job of talking up his teammates. Everyone has been saying how Ross is the speed we need and he keeps complimenting Green and Core on their speed. I think that's being a good teammate and talking them up as opposed to being humble and putting himself down.

I felt Core had the speed we were looking for, but his is long speed. Ross has long speed and that quick first step. Lining Green, Core, and Ross up together seems like a nightmare for opposing Ds.
