To me, Ross when healthy looked just as fast and quick as Tee Higgins. He may not be that guy anymore. The fun thing to dream on is if he is. |

He ran 4.63 on a foot that required surgery to fix the prior attempt to fix it. Now, maybe that's an indication that he's not ever going to be healthy, or maybe it's not. But just to be fair. |

Let's say he's back to being able to run at least 4.5sec speed. Is he a NFL-quality WR? There seems to be some contention that he's not. Plus, he has no experience playing at this level, so a bit of a double-whammy.

It almost seems like the coaching staff is somewhat banking on Justyn being healthy. |

You could say that about any rookie WR, Skyy Moore made his name against DBs who wouldn't even sniff the NFL, so until he gets on the field I dont get that comment.

For an UDFA, it's a nice lottery ticket. |

Some WRs are in the league largely because they're fast. Take that away and they don't have the other skillsets to play in the NFL. Ted Ginn, for example. Hardman. Now, I've seen a little of this guy from watching tape last year of his college highlights, so I know he has the hands and body control. But if he doesn't run good routes/releases and doesn't have enough speed to create any separation on his stems/breaks, he's not going to be worth much on the field. |

I'd love to know what Mahomes thinks right now, as Ross is down in Texas running with the boys. |

Can he stay healthy, can he learn this offense and learn to see the routes as Mahomes does? To me, those are the questions that determine his or any other receiver's worth as long as they are NFL level athletes. And if he's 6'4" 210 pounds, and runs a 4.5 or so, then yeah, he's an NFL level body. |

Yeah, he's a long shot. May not even make the 53 man roster. We get it.

"if he can stay healthy". All the rest would be there with any rookie. And yeah, he's a red-shirt rookie basically. I'm not assuming he's going to be anything at all, just being fair to the possibility. |

Ftr, I hope he is faster than 4.6 whatever. With his catch radius and the little I've seen of his other abilities, he could be a decent WR for KC. His length and athleticism could be a real problem for opposing defenses. |
