John Ross III (born November 27, 1995) is an American football wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of Washington, and was drafted by the Bengals ninth overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Early years
Ross attended Jordan High School in Long Beach, California. He played wide receiver and cornerback in football and also ran track. As a senior, Ross finished third in the 100 metres at the 2013 CIF Southern Section Division 1 final.[3]
Regarded as a four-star recruit by ESPN, Ross was ranked as the No. 49 overall prospect in the state of California.[4] He committed to the University of Washington to play college football.[5]
College career
Ross played in all 13 games as a true freshman at Washington in 2013. He finished the year with 16 receptions for 208 yards and one touchdown as a receiver and had 720 kick return yards and a touchdown. In 2014, he played in 13 of 14 games, with seven starts as a receiver and four as a cornerback. That season, he had 17 receptions for 371 yards and four touchdowns as a receiver, 12 tackles and an interception as a cornerback and had 938 return yards and two touchdowns.[6] Ross missed the 2015 season after suffering a torn ACL during spring practices.[7] Ross returned from the injury in 2016 and had five receptions for 90 yards with two receiving touchdowns and a kick return touchdowns in his first game back.[8][9] On January 3, 2017, Ross announced his decision to forego his senior season and enter the NFL Draft.[10] On February 10, 2017, it was revealed that Ross was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his shoulder. He injured his shoulder earlier during the 2016 season, and re-aggravated it on December 31 in a loss against Alabama. The injury required surgery, but Ross decided to put it on hold until after the NFL Scouting Combine and pro day workouts.[11]
