Just stop thinking.
That’s what the vets have been telling John Ross this spring. In anticipation of next Tuesday’s first voluntary on-field session against the defense both fellow wide receivers A.J. Green and Brandon LaFell are telling the enormously talented Ross to just stop thinking and start playing.
The way Ross tells it, Green, the seven-time Pro Bowler, has pulled him to the side and told him, “You have to slow down. Get under yourself. Calm down. Just stop thinking. I’m watching you think about it. Just stop thinking.”
And while Ross may have heard that stuff last year as the ninth player taken in the draft, this sophomore is listening to it.
