onejayhawk Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Now that rookie camp is here we can get a glimpse of what the UDFA can do. Justyn Ross, once considered a 1st round talent, did this. Mahomes was impressed that Ross considered it no big deal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAF-N72EX Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) I was (and still am) so damn pissed that Ryan Poles didn't pick him up. Especially considering the Bears current WR situation. We need a big outside target for Fields with potential. I can understand the risk of drafting him in favor of another player who you know will play because of his injury history. But you don't pass up on a talent like him as an UDFA when there is really no risk at all. Best case scenario, he turns out to be a stud and the Chiefs got a steal for a player on a really good deal. The Worst case scenario, he turns out to be dud and they didn't risk anything since his contract won't even be high enough to count against the 53 man roster.

onejayhawk Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 I have heard unconfirmed reports that only four teams cleared Ross to practice. The Chiefs were his choice among the four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronsWitness Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Somewhere, Ryan Shazier is screaming at his TV for Justyn Ross not to play football and I find it somewhat irresponsible that nobody close to him has stepped up and shut the idea down yet.

ronjon1990 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 He's undeniably talented. I don't think that was in doubt. He also clearly played football again at Clemson. That's not in doubt either. With some guys recently retiring early and still in their prime due to injury concerns, I wonder if that took him off a few boards as well? Obviously, he has to be medically cleared, and that's always a hurdle. But I do wonder how many teams may have just sat back and thought "He's going to last a year or two and probably decide not to risk it anymore. Pass.".... Rooting for him and hope the injury never comes back to haunt him and he has a nice long career. But boy I hope he knows what he's doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Outside of Ross, Carson Strong is one of the most intriguing UDFA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJets4716 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Didn't Ross have spinal infusion? I am not buying the hype, that is a significant injury. I've seen how a promising WR on the Jets ended his career due to spinal issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 For Cleveland, Isaiah Weston *could* make the final 53. He’s a fantastic athlete, but he’s old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
