Too bad he didn't have the QB to throw him open last year plus I think he played soft knowing he was going to move onto the NFL. You could tell in his blocking and aggressive catches were not at his norm. I am sure after we lost our second game, knowing playoffs were not going to happen, then its a body protection timeout for the future. Do enough to be an asset but dont get hurt, unfortunately he got his foot hurt anyway.
That is kind of what I saw last year. And I think it was kind of the same through the team as the urgency of a playoff dwindled, seemed like younger players stepped up as they took advantage of their opportunity.
Fingers crossed, QB and OL are not liabilities this year. If they are not then we have great opportunity to playoffs.

He had a broken foot all year, before the UGA game. That’s why he was tentative, he was injured and his body only let him do so much…. Don’t you remember all the rumors the Friday before the IGA game he had a season ending injury, turned out it was true but he fought through and played most the year…

I'll say this, and the ones that will agree, can, and the ones that don't agree, you can. Justyn had a so so season last season, and I don't believe that it was bc he was out a season recovering. I believe that Justyn's season last year was bc our QB lost his confidence, and he failed to put the ball in Justyn's area of tight coverage the way that Trevor had done many, many times, but last season DJ didn't do that, and it was bc DJ feared it being intercepted.
Justyn's talent, and his confidence of catching the ball if it's put in his catching range, he could have done a lot to help DJ regain confidence in himself, and he just wouldn't pull the trigger. DJ's loss of confidence, and his fear of throwing an INT, cause him to hold onto the ball to long. That wasn't the fault of Justyn Ross. Sure Justyn bumbled a few short passes, but I truly believe it was bc he never expected the ball to come his way, plus, Justyn is a receiver that's better in tight cover bc he is so good at snatching the ball out of the air before a defender can react to the ball, and we saw him do it over, and over, and over in 2018. 2019 wasn't exactly terrible when Justyn, and the medical staff found that he had a spinal defect since berth, and started to create problems in his sophomore season....

Another thing too was the college try to put Ross in that slot position where Renfrow carved his paths. Ross was supposed to eat well in that position ...but however....it all showed how out of sync it looked and was. We can also address that slot position could have seriously and severely ended his career with the injury he came back from.
Ross was much better for the outside near the sidelines but like you said...DJ ain't delivering that kind of ball consistently at all.
In the NFL its definitely a chance to flourish in both slot and outside receiver position for Ross. He must make the most of his chances.

They got the man at a steal. My belief is that he is healthy and will be one of the best receivers in the NFL. As a result he will be rewarded well.

Really pisses me off that TLAW didn't push to get him in JAX. TLaw knows the talent he has

What kind of sway do you think a 2nd year QB has vs a General Manager? Lol.
"Hey coach, we need to draft this guy that hasn't been good in 4 years. Remember those 2 catches he made in the National Championship over 3 years ago?"

Uhm the heck you talking about?
TL16 definitely wanted him in JAX -- I'm pretty sure he tweeted wanting to be reunited with him.
JAX didn't draft him so at that point JROSS determined where he wanted to go based on the offers made to him and he went where he believed he'd thrive.
Who knows if JAX even offered. Does anyone have an official offer sheet for Ross?
Regardless, glad JROSS is already sticking out and hope he makes the team.

These posts just frustrate me that we only had with for 2 healthy years, and 1 good one.

Patrick Mahomes is the perfect quarterback for Justin Ross and Kansas City is the perfect team. Hopefully Justin will gain the confidence of Mahomes who can put the ball into tight spaces. One spectacular catch after another and one touchdown after another will ensue. Pretty sure that Justin feels lucky to have been able to pick his free agent destination.
