With more than 100 receiving yards in two preseason games, Rashad Ross is standing out and finding consistency in the Redskins' offense.
For the entirety of last year, one filled with uncertainty as a member of the Bears and, later, the Redskins’ practice squads, wide receiver Rashad Ross was known for going deep, and that was about it.
