I think many are just getting encouraged to read anything positive about John Ross, as it was so frustrating to get absolutely zero production from our top 10 pick, last season.
Personally, I'm of a mind that Ross doesn't need to put up big numbers, in order to have a dramatic impact on offensive success. Just a few touches per game will reveal the threat that he is, and that alone will open up options for Andy, all over the field.
Darqueze Dennard, Dre Kirkpatrick, and WJII had the same impact their rookie seasons and are now cornerstone players. WJIII might be our best defensive player. At least there is some semblance of a track record that just because you had a poor rookie season, injured or otherwise, doesn't spell "bad draft pick".
