If he were to miss the entire season on IR then he'd have a better season than he had last year. Last year he ate a roster spot of someone who could have helped the team and he fumbled his only touch and he's a WR who was the #9 pick in the draft and the guy couldn't even make 1 catch.
It's not like he had a great college career or anything that would lead anyone to believe he's going to be great. He started 1 season. He missed 1 college season to injury. He was mainly a kick returner the other 2 seasons.
Ask yourself, if he had not run a 4.22 40 would you even believe he's starter material?
100%. I see this going around in multiple circles that Ross is purely a speed guy and the only reason he was drafted high was because of his 40. His 40 certainly raised his stock, but he is a receiver with a wide route tree, strong catching ability who showed elite separation.
He is and was a legitimately talented prospect, whether he runs a 4.2 or a 4.5.
