John Ross: 'Burrow's confidence will have an impact on me'

[Whatever]

I'm not rooting against Ross so much as wondering why he's immune to the yearly trend where we get all fired up about the new/rookie WRs and lament that there are under-performing veteran players in front of them.  I guess we haven't seen enough of him to write him off as a ho-hum vet who is going to hurt Tee's development.  

I think most of us assume Higgins will be the #3 WR before the end of the year either by his play or injuries in front of him.

Also, with Covid wiping out rookie and minicamps, we haven't had the off-season fluff stories about the yearly 7th rounder/CFA WR looking like the second coming of Jerry Rice.
