Week 4 will say a lot about how much John Ross has improved

For the first two years of his career, Ross had more than his share of detractors. In fact, most people had already begun referring to him as a bust.

The speedster from Washington, who had set the NFL Combine record with a 4.22 40, had no receptions his first year in the league. Last year, in his second year, Ross finished with 21 catches for 210 yards. There was some room for optimism, though, with seven of those catches having gone for touchdowns.

Ross started 2019 off with a bang. Through the first two games, Ross had 11 receptions for 270 yards, an average of 24.
