I'm more inclined to believe that in college he was going against weak DBs as he played in the Pac 12 during a time when defense was optional. Now he's in the NFL and the quality of the DBs is much higher. He gets knocked off his routes.
His catch stats are his catch stats. There's no real way to sugar coat them. He has a small catch radius when compared to AJ Green and Tyler Eifert. It's just what it is.
However, he is good at running along the back of the endzone and out running the defender there and catching TDs. So that alone will give him targets in the NFL. I'm hoping he can become a better route runner.
As others have said, maybe a new HC will get more out of him. I'm also hoping the new HC will get more out of this team all over, especially the D.
Have you seen how the Chiefs use Tyreke Hill? He is one inch shorter and 5 pounds lighter. Is there no way that we can figure out something like that? Something like the Steelers do when they line 3 up on one side of the field and run him across the middle.
It seems like they have to do this in the Redzone when they run out of space. They cant just send Ross deep and hope our O line gives more than 2 seconds to throw it.
