John Ross showed up at Paul Brown Stadium for the first time as a Bengal Friday and he already knew that the fastest man to ever run 40 yards at the NFL scouting combine is now playing in the building named after the man that invented the race for football evaluation.
“We talked about it when I was here on my visit,” said Ross of the PBS trip two weeks ago. “It’s pretty cool.”
Ross is here in large part because of that speed, but it is fueled by a simmering passion that doesn’t take long to emerge.
