Ross has had a rough start to his NFL career:
On Wednesday, the NFL transactions report revealed that the Chiefs have waived wide receiver Justyn Ross, only five days before the team is due to report to training camp.
During his freshman season at Clemson in 2018, Ross appeared to be a future superstar. In that season’s College Football Playoff games against Notre Dame and Alabama, Ross and now Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence connected 12 times for 301 yards and three touchdowns as the Tigers were crowned national champions.
Unfortunately, Ross would later miss the entire 2020 season after having spinal fusion surgery. While he did return for the 2021 season, Ross went undrafted in 2022 and signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent.
