Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross is returning for his third year but is questionable to remain on the 53-man roster this time after a start to his NFL career that hasn’t lived up to his collegiate performance at Clemson.
Although Ross hasn’t been given much playing time during his tenure in Kansas City, he has demonstrated amazing athleticism and the potential to become a key contributor.
On Thursday, the official Chiefs Twitter account posted a play that featured Ross from one of the final practice sessions at training camp.
When backup quarterback Carson Wentz faced pressure from Kansas City’s defense, he hurled the ball deep downfield to Ross who made the catch and slid triumphantly in the endzone with the ball in hand after the ball was nearly intercepted by Kelvin Joseph.

Ross made himself valuable to the offense in the Chiefs’ first preseason match against the Jacksonville Jaguars where the wide receiver made this beautiful toe-tapping sideline grab.
Look for more dramatic plays in the coming match against the Lions, when Ross will be fighting alongside fellow Chiefs players for a spot on the 53-man roster for this season.
