Thank you, the hits.  The fastest Bengal ever was in 1969 and the very new expansion team Bengals felt they had nothing to lose by trying something. They signed the 1968 Olympic Medal winner in track.  1 of the 2 that held a black gloved fist up in protest as US National Anthem played in their honor as they received their medals.  In a Bengals uniform. the Olympic track star was not just fast, he was super fast. He even made a few catches. However after every catch they had to carry him off on a stretcher.  He could not take the Pro Football hits and to this point neither has track star Ross.  ....I repeat, Ross is the fastest guy to the rehab room and the rehab whirlpool tub. 

All that said, I would hope out of all these draft pick injured Bengey's, that some start showing they are not made of glass.   Besides Ross we have John Williams, Price, Jackson-WJ3, Ogbuhei who came in injured and is now gone, Eifert,  Dennard and Kirkpatrick who were injured early and often when drafted.   Lower round picks of McCarron often injured early or often & now gone. Add injured Gio Bernard.   We need some of these Bengey's to show they are not made out of glass.  I know they keep putting in more rules on hits, but it isn't touch football just yet.  

Ross may be a track star. He has yet to prove he is a Pro Football player. That remains to be seen.  

I hope some of these injured Bengey's show they can man up and play Pro Football, because if all these draft picks are just too made out of glass, the Bengals will be stuck in last place from such awful draft picks.  As a Bengal Fan, I want this team to win.  Some of these cats need to get healthy and live up to their draft picks.  I know some are already out for 2019, but hopefully a few can suit up and deliver. 

I will say that I don't think much of Bengals having few scouts, and the way the Brown Family front office including Tobin work the draft. The proof is in the pudding and their picks look like they are made out of pudding. Almost never does a top pick play his first year, many players picked #1 knowing they are injured and will miss rookie year and THAT falls on Mikey Boy Brown and Family.

A lot of Ross hype is over a race that never happened. Reds Billy Hamilton against Bengals Ross. They were always both too injured. Hamilton gone because he couldn't hit, Ross here but injured still because he can't take a hit.
