WR John Ross, Washington

Former Washington Huskies wide receiver John Ross had a chance to display his speed and quickness at the NFL Combine. Ross returned from injury in 2015 to catch 81 passes for 1,150 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns for the Huskies’ high-powered offense in 2016.

In the kickoff return game, Ross return 17 kickoffs for 411 yards and a touchdown. In 2014, he returned 38 kickoffs for 938 yards and two touchdowns. His speed in the open field is something to marvel at.

With his 40-yard dash time, scouts now have taken notice of Ross’ speed and quickness. He also jumped 37.0 inches in the vertical jump test, but a calf injury held him out of others drill. Despite his calf injury, he certainly showed scouts he can do more than just catch passes on offense.
