Former UW star John Ross III optimistic about a breakthrough season for the Cincinnati Bengals

John Ross III has always had the ability to move quickly. That we know.

But it’s how quickly Ross has been able to move on from missteps and setbacks that gives him hope that he can put together the kind of breakthrough season the Cincinnati Bengals expect in his third season in the NFL.

The former University of Washington wide receiver will return to Seattle this weekend for Sunday’s season opener between the Seahawks and Bengals at CenturyLink Field.

Ross, limited by a hamstring injury in the preseason, is listed as a starting receiver for the Bengals in their first game under new head coach Zac Taylor, a former Los Angeles Rams offensive assistant.
