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

I mean his stiffest competition is literally JAG Coleman, a washed 31 year old Gordon, and a bunch of practice squaders.

If by some chance he makes the roster and he's fully healthy and he's able to perform to his abilities , then our WR roster will be fucking awesome! [Reply]

For starters, the metric is completely asinine. Great, it measures overall athleticism. I don't fucking care. There are metrics that matter at each position and metrics that don't.
Then, there's the whole thing called my fucking eyeballs. Can the guy run routes? Can he catch in traffic and win 50/50 balls? Does he catch with his hands? Does he drop the ball too much? Et cetera..........
Ross is quick and fluid in/out of his breaks for a WR his size. He creates separation. He finds soft spots. He catches with his hands and he wins in traffic. He runs good routes. He had plenty of speed to regularly beat the guy across from him. He still posted over 11 yards per catch playing on a Jones fracture the entire season last year.
He fell off the charts over medicals, period. Nobody gives two fucks about his RAS score. He's fine. He's got his shot to make it through camp.
The only Ras I like, is Ras Tafari! Wah Gwaan! [Reply]
I don’t understand why people complain about RAS. I mean, it’s nothing we haven’t always cited. It’s just an aggregate score of the things they do at the combine. Of course there is more to it. That’s always been true for everyone except Al Davis. [Reply]
There is no way any professional scout or front office team gives a single squirrel fart about RAS. When they're compiling data about each prospect, I seriously doubt that's a number in a box they're filling in. [Reply]

I'm skeptical but excited about the possibilities. If he's in this good of shape i don't see teams passing on him for 7 rounds. But I'll optimistically hold my breath knowing there's nothing to lose with trying [Reply]
:-) Like Josh fucking Gordon makes a lick of difference. I guess if Ross can't beat him out then his career is well and truly fucked, but that's the only worthwhile barometer Josh Gordon provides. [Reply]

I mean they probably do glance at it these days. Even if they don’t, they look at literally every number factored into it plus some anyways. [Reply]

I told you a few months ago it would be used like PFF. No idea about a player? Just use some shitty metric rating to make your argument credible [Reply]

Gordon and Coleman had their chance. Best player between them can join Deiter on the practice squad…maybe
I wonder what Powell can even bring after having a full year not playing.Also with Skyy,i always hear how hard it is for receivers to learn Reids offense,but i hope they have some things in mind for him right away,i'm sure they do. [Reply]
