It is yet to be revealed how Ross came about acquiring the new jersey number. Bengals.com still lists Hunter Sharp, a second year receiver out of the Utah State as number 11. Regardless. the move confirms speculation Ross would change his number for 2019. As seen in a tweet below from @BengalsCaptain, some fans noted that the Bengals Pro Shop had number 11 Ross jerseys listed under newest items as early as May. Shortly after this was discovered, the listing was removed.
