On Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles announced through X/Twitter that they have signed 2017 first-round pick John Ross to a one-year contract. Ross retired last offseason after signing a future/reserve contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ross was drafted ninth overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017, a month after he broke the record for the fastest 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine at 4.22 seconds. Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy broke that record this year by running a time of 4.21 seconds.
Now, Ross get the opportunity to revive his career on a star-studded Philadelphia Eagles team that just lost free agent signing DeVante Parker to retirement.
Unfortunately, injuries derailed the former Washington star’s tenure in Cincinnati, as he was limited to 27 games over four years there. Ross’ best season came in 2019, when he had 28 receptions or 506 yards and three touchdowns.
In four years with the Bengals, Ross caught 51 passes for 733 yards and 10 touchdowns. He last played football in 2021, catching 11 passes for 224 yards and one touchdown in 10 games with the New York Giants.
Philadelphia Eagles Could Revive John Ross’ Career
If there’s one place for John Ross to revive his NFL career, it just might be here in the City of Brotherly Love.
The Eagles have an MVP candidate at quarterback in Jalen Hurts, two elite wide receivers in DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown, superstar running back Saquon Barkley and a Pro Bowl-caliber tight end in Dallas Goedert.
Throw in Nick Sirianni’s offensive genius, and this simply feels like the ideal opportunity for John Ross to show that he can produce at the NFL level. With all that speed and star power surrounding him, Ross just might manage to emerge as a playmaker in the Eagles’ offense.
