John Ross, a former No. 9 overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals out of Washington in 2017 is best known for holding the fastest 40-yard dash time in NFL Combine history (4.22).
However, his NFL career was never able to take off on the field. Ross battled injury and ineffectiveness over his first five seasons in the NFL.
Due to injuries and coaching decisions, he only played in three games as a rookie. He would play in 24 more games for the Bengals over the next three seasons before retiring after 10 games for the Giants in 2021.
Ross appeared in 37 games and caught 62 passes for 957 yards and 11 touchdowns.
