The Draft Network’s Trevor Sikkema, recently published a piece titled The Biggest Bust of the 2017 NFL.
Not surprisingly, the article was about Bengals wide receiver John Ross. It is not a hard argument to make. Ross did little in 2018 and literally nothing as a rookie in 2017. To Sikkema’s credit, he did leave the caveat in his evaluation that Ross could turn it around this season, but he missed some key points.
First is that head coach Marvin Lewis never wanted Ross, and the guy who did (offensive coordinator Ken Zampese) didn’t make it long that season.
