John Ross III is back from a knee injury, faster and hoping to add a deep threat to the Washington Huskies passing game as spring drills begin.
This was just one play on the first day of spring football practice in a no-contact passing drill, so making any sweeping conclusions is premature at this point.
But any time Jake Browning throws deep and completes a pass to John Ross III, it’s progress for the Huskies, who struggled the past two seasons moving the ball through the air.
So when Ross sped past a defensive back, hit the brakes and raced toward his scrambling quarterback before diving to haul in a line-drive pass for a sizable gain, it drew a few cheers from teammates on the sideline.
