believe he wrote he was one of the best he had ever seen. Sorry couldn't find the article. Sad to see that it didn't pan out for him, but seems like a good dude and has moved on which a lot of high profile athletes struggle to do.

You could tell coaches wanted him to get involved on the outside- but Ross was

What does that have to do with what 1984Coug said?

Heaps/Nelson 2011, Nelson/Lark 2012, Taysom 2013, Taysom/Stewart 2014

Thanks for the info. Those QBs were not the best draw in the world for Ross,
