Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross has had one of the oddest NFL career arcs in recent memory.
After making a name for himself as the NFL Combine record-setter in the 40-yard dash and being selected No. 9 overall, Ross’ pro career has since been filled with frustration. Whether it was because of injuries, simple mistakes that weren’t part of his college tape and/or his seemingly endless stint in Marvin Lewis’ doghouse, the former top-10 pick has been walking the razor’s edge of being a bust.
However, the talented wideout is aware of just how big 2019 is for the rest of his pro career.
