Yeah, if he gets major playing time, that means they think he's good enough to contribute so if that happens, we win in a big, big way. Everyone should be hoping he contributes rather than getting buried on the depth chart. Some of these marginal guys are going to have to step up if we're going to maintain our championship window.

That being said, I don't have much confidence he'll be anything of note, just based on recent history. Not saying it's impossible, or even improbable, but he's got a BIG hill to climb to be a contributor on this team.

These are the "good ole days" and we are in them! Enjoy it....and if he doesn't pan out, no biggie. We're into him for peanuts. It's like Thanos said. Stop seeing the world for what it is and start seeing it for what it can be (or something close to that).
Good point :D

Theres another video of him doing drills making cuts, he looks pretty confident making those cuts on that surgically repaired foot.

He is what he is, and that's a lottery ticket that some people want to throw away before we can even find out if we're a lucky winner.

I really don't understand the pessimism. This front office and coaching staff has done an AMAZING job of finding value. And they've done an even better job of cutting losses when players don't pan out. If Ross is healthy and can play, you got first round talent as an UDFA.

if he can't stay healthy or play, you risked nothing. This is an extraordinary situation.

Dude was never a 1st round talent, ever.

He was good his freshman year, pretty good as a Soph. 1st round would have been a reach even then.

This. There is zero reason not to see this through.

WOW he's looks stiff and slow as shit on all of those cuts.

He's 6'4 he's not going to be incredibly quick.
