See what I am saying? What I'm NOT saying is that Justyn Ross is a star in the making. I have no idea, and he's a long shot for a lot of reasons, namely the injury history and how that has affected his ability to play much football at all for YEARS now. It's a long shot, and you don't have to make bad faith arguments to prove it. Nobody that I have seen is claiming anything else, just rooting for the kid as it's a good story. |

In 5 years he has 7 PR for 42 yards and 2 KO returns for 19 yards - they put Skyy Moore out to take the punt in the AFCCG (on a hope and a prayer of no fumbles) rather than ole reliable Watson? |

Last season when he did it a hand full of times for the Chiefs. Because Watson wasn't active IIRC. Illness.

BUT, as someone else pointed out, maybe that skill won't carry as much weight considering the new league rules and all.

As far as I'm concerned:
Toney MVS Moore Rice James (Primary KO/PR) are locks to make the roster which means that the following will be fought out for the final roster spot(s) (IDK if they carry 7 WR's if the talent is there or stick with 6) Ross jr vs Smith-Marsette (BU KO/PR duties) Watson vs Ross sr (off the bench speed/depth) Camp fodder is Cornell Powell, Nikko Remigio and Ty Fryfogle IF they keep Deneric Prince on the roster (who has extensive KO/PR duties) I could see Watson getting the nod |

No, I'm pretty sure in the Rams game after Moore botched a punt, they put Watson back there for the rest of the game.
dude's just a serviceable pro. He doesn't move the needle but he doesn't hurt you wherever you put him. He had that couple of games in which he had the dropsies, but other than that, he's been perfectly fine as a depth guy. I expect he'll be the same or better in year two of the offense. I'll say this-if Watson can't make this squad, that's really good ****ing news. |

There are plenty of people in this thread that are giddy about Ross, especially before he missed basically all of last off-season. |

People are giddy because they see what he did as a freshman, which is understandable, but the kid hasn't played a lot of football since, so they ought to cool their jets a bit - but there's intriguing possibility there without a doubt. He's not a typical UDFA talent. He's got a big hill to climb because he missed a lot of football development. That's about as even handed an opinion as I can give, and it seems to be right where Veach and Reid are at. I think if you're too far either way on the kid you're off base. Rooting for him to succeed is just being a fan and loving an underdog story. |

He was an UDFA for a reason. The Chiefs are in for a penny ante IDK why this thread is 74 pages long. |
