2017 NFL Mock Draft: NFL Conference Championship Edition
By Tyler Brooke
Dallas Cowboys are thrilled about the future of their team, especially on offense with guys like Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott and Dez Bryant. While Cole Beasley was a solid slot receiver for the Cowboys, they could make their offense even more dynamic by adding another legitimate wide receiver.
The Washington Huskies were able to make it to the College Football Playoff thanks to a ton of NFL-caliber players, but few were as exciting as wide receiver John Ross. The junior wide receiver caught 81 passes for 1,150 yards and 17 touchdown while making jaw-dropping plays like this.
The best way to describe Ross is like an NBA point guard playing wide receiver. He creates separation with some beautiful footwork and has the explosiveness off of the line of scrimmage to be a serious deep threat.
At 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, Ross isn’t the biggest guy and he can get jammed at the line of scrimmage. However, with his explosiveness and great hands, Ross could be an extremely productive wide receiver at the next level who could take a lot of pressure off of Bryant in the Dallas passing game.
