After Justyn Ross’ breakout performance in the College Football Playoff as a true freshman, many thought he’d be a lock to be a first-round pick somewhere down the line. But, that’s not exactly how it worked out; and now he’s a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.

“So glad someone is giving Justyn Ross a chance,” another said of the Chiefs. “Guy oozes talent if he can get back to being healthy. ACL, Spinal Fusion, and foot surgery is a rough history but I am cheering for this dude!”
