STARKVILLE, Miss. -- It’s time to give Fred Ross his due.
Frankly, it’s way past time. Time to stop confusing him with Fred Brown. Time to stop overlooking him because of De'Runnya Wilson. Time to stop calling him Mr. Dependable and start referring to him as one of the best receivers in the SEC.
Though it’s easy to fall in love with the talent of Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk, don’t forget about Mississippi State’s veteran receiver. Ross is the one who led the league in receptions per game, ranked second among Power 5 players in yards after catch and set school records for catches (88) and 100-yard receiving games (five) last season.
