In 2017, the Cincinnati Bengals selected former first-round pick John Ross with the ninth overall pick in the NFL draft. Ross, known for his elite speed, ran a 4.22-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, which remains the second fastest time in event history. Despite being considered one of the biggest draft busts in Bengals history, Ross recorded 51 catches for 733 yards and 10 touchdowns during his time with the team.
However, after a brief stint with the Kansas City Chiefs, Ross announced his retirement in 2023 and has not played in an NFL game since 2021. Now, Ross has signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles as he looks to make an impact in Philadelphia and start a new chapter in his career.
The signing of Ross by the Eagles marks a new opportunity for him to showcase his skills on the field again. While he may not have lived up to expectations during his time with the Bengals, he still possesses great talent and potential that could be valuable to any team looking for a solid receiver.
As reported by Bengals Wire, this move is significant for both Ross and the Eagles as they work together to achieve their goals on and off the field. It will be interesting to see how Ross performs with his new team and whether he can live up to expectations this time around.
