And my god was he not worthy of where he was selected.  He just needs to stay healthy and hold on to the damn ball.  I personally think he doesn’t hold up.  Too small.  Can’t take an nfl hit.  Hope I’m wrong but everything that made me sick to my stomache about this pick cane true during the season.  Doesn’t have a tough mans mantality, too small for the league injury prone and it was on display whenever he was on the field.  Again hope I’m wrong but he needs to buck up or gtf on.  I don’t care how good of a kid he is at this point

"Doesn't have a tough man's mentality?" Dude. Come on. He played nearly his entire senior season at Washington with a torn labrum and produced great numbers. He's plenty tough enough. With the NFL injury rules I would think it more likely that the Bengals held him out rather than he held himself out. There's a difference between the two.

I mean, I understand potential reasons as to why people would knock the pick: Major injuries in college, size - which I, personally, don't get because he's 1" taller and 7lbs heavier than Antonio Brown, only 1 season (his senior) of significant production, etc. But saying he isn't tough is directly insulting to him as a person and not about his abilities or short comings as a player, while ignoring the current state of the injury-paranoid NFL. He was injured on his one play he touched the ball, yes, but didn't take himself out. Marvin did. Ross would have kept playing if it were up to him.

"He isn't tough" just doesn't hold up at all given his background of playing really well for long periods through significant injury and pain.
