Ross led the ACC in receiving as a freshman in 2018, ranked fifth nationally with 21.7 YPC and was second in receiving touchdowns. He also stands 6-3, 210 pounds. High quality addition for

Let JuJu walk in the offseason, get a comp pick, have his replacement already on the roster for PEANUTS.

Disagree. He missed the 2020 season already through injury. If he has passed medicals and is showing his talent in camp then judge him like the other receivers. He played football last season and missing another year will not help his development imo.

The people saying sit him are making no sense. He's been cleared.

I'm also hoping Powell shows out. I know Reid is loyal to his guys that have been there for a minute. Two guys Powell was competing with last year were Pringle and Robinson. Like Powell, Pringle and Robinson worked their way up through the ranks. If a rookie like Powell is close to them but not obviously better, the veterans get the nod. So with three tenured WR's gone Powell will have his best shot. That clearly is a big reason Ross was lured to KC.

One thing is clear, it's going to be a really fun training camp and preseason this year. I'm excite. Very nice!

Pick 2: Gordon / Fountain / Powell / Ross / Coleman

If Ross and Powell (old teammates) make the roster, it’s a really positive sign for the continuity of the position in the short and long term.

It’s nothing short of phenomenal how Veach straight up attacks a position group. He turned Tyreek Hill and a bunch of warm bodies into one of the better WR groups in the league in a few months and did it while losing Tyreek in the process. Top level stuff. If Ross and Skyy both play to what they’ve shown to be capable of, this group is going to be very special.

Interesting James mentions Justyn Ross in the same sentence as JuJu, MVS, Moore, Hardman when talking about the new receiving room. https://t.co/5QkPzhUaOS

Jeff Veach.

who?

After watching him practice today, I’m exceeding my expectations now. Next Randy Moss and you can’t tell me otherwise. I’m already at this point.

Four of the six you listed are all new to the offense. Reid should "uncomplicate" his offense if that were the case. Truth is he isn't any different than any other HC. He just looks for mismatches and draws up plays to exploit them.

Hyperbole is wonderful but they haven't played a single snap yet. This is really overstating things man. I'm as hopeful as everyone else and have no issues with any of these guys but there are some REALLY good WR groups not playing for the Chiefs.

That's kind of how I see 1-4. Powell probably stays just for continuity and being a draft pick. Gordon is over 30, so he's probably had his last BBQ in KC. So now it boils down to Fountain and Ross. I'm waiting to see what happens during camp to choose.

OMG this. “Better WR groups in the league.”

What’s going on on this board? Have people gone crazy? We have no proven WR1 on the roster. We’ve taken a lot of decent fliers on players with upside. We have the best QB in the league.

But these guys with a hyperaverage QB like, say, Kirk Cousins would strike fear in absolutely no one.
