This may be the best stat I've seen yet for Ross that shows what he did today is sustainable.

The best part about Ross' performance yesterday was the fact that he didn't quit on any routes. I personally thought the attacks on him for 'quitting on routes' was a bit overblown, but you can't argue that about yesterday.
We wouldn't have scored on the play before the half if John Ross wasn't putting in a full effort.
Also, if he was a quitter/wuss like people claim, he would've run out of bounds on his first TD. Instead, the kid has a nose for the endzone and juked it back for the score.
Most of the complaints about Ross have either been remedied by the new coaching staff, or were overblown to begin with.

He was definitely getting open by a lot of space.
It's interesting to see how guys like Green get open by a smaller margin than others, but catch it. So obviously speed matters.

Makes sense for the first game of the year. Need to see Boyd run some deeper routes though to keep this Offense
unpredictable. Defenses will key in on this. Those are a lot of different routes for both WR's but it sure is blatant on who
is going deep and who is going to play the short routes in the middle of the field.
