Clemson WR Justyn Ross is signing with the #Chiefs to their 90-man roster, per source.
Ross led the ACC in receiving as a freshman in 2018, ranked fifth nationally with 21.7 YPC and was second in receiving touchdowns. He also stands 6-3, 210 pounds. High quality addition for

Yeah I'd be happy to get either of them late. I could just see Ross having an absurdly high touchdown rate. Mahomes hasn't really had the type of red zone threat that Ross could become. [Reply]

I think you're right...But, will he have 30 drops is the question? Kidding of course, but he appears to be the same guy he was in college. Hopefully, he can correct the drops. [Reply]

His drops are concentration drops, he has the hands to catch anything.
But hopefully with coaching etc he can improve. [Reply]

How many drops did he have in college and were they in big moments? [Reply]

Bet? Rice will get alot more than that. I think James or MVS will be leading receiver but thats just because Rice is an unknown. I could see a path where he ends up as WR1 by end of year. [Reply]

I think we are looking at this wrong. If he has 24 drops, which I do not know if that is true, but if he did that's 24/360 targets in his college career which is about 6%. The average drop rate in the NFL is 6.7%. Rice had such high usage in college the drop rates started to add up. Travis Kelce has some of the best hands in the NFL and it is 5.3%.
There is very little correlation in the NFL for drops from one WR to the next. It doesn’t even matter. [Reply]

Are u actually saying there is not much difference between 5.3% and 6.7%?
Rice leads all KC WR's in drops during preseason. Are u diminishing that because he has more targets? Am I understanding you correctly?
30 catches this year for Rice was mentioned. You think it will be more. How much more?
Anyway, to stay on thread topic, Ross is better than Rice IMO. [Reply]
