Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott was quoted last year saying, “They have a whole lot of freakish athletes on their roster, but Justyn Ross is probably the most freakish.”
I think Alabama and Notre Dame would contest to Elliott’s theory. Ross dominated the Irish and the Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff last year. Though he was just a freshman, he caught 12 passes for 301 yards and three touchdowns in the two playoff games, including a career-high 153 yards against Alabama in the National Championship Game.
But it just was not the yards and catches that wowed everyone about Ross’ potential, it was the way in which he did it.
