Former Clemson star wide receiver Justyn Ross is back on the field with the Kansas City Chiefs and building hype around what he can do for the defending Super Bowl champions next season.
The Athletic’s Nate Taylor reported that Ross received first-team repetitions in the Chiefs’ first full-team practice on Sunday, noting that Ross was heavily involved during catching drills. Great news for the former Tiger; Ross has a tremendous ceiling, but injuries have been a big part of his story.
Even so, Ross continues to work hard and has earned the trust of who many consider to be the best quarterback in football, Patrick Mahomes.
“The talent is through the roof. I think anyone can see that,” Mahomes said of Ross. “He’s getting better and better. Even though he wasn’t active all year long, he was in the building, and he was able to see the guys and how we do things. Listening and being in the meetings and some of the stuff like that. I’m excited for him. To be able to get out there and get the reps in practice and get the little fine details that we like to do in this offense.”
Could Ross be the breakout player for the Chiefs in 2023? Here is a look at how Twitter reacted to Ross running first-team reps.
