ESPN's Jordan Reid projects Clemson WR Justyn Ross as a fourth-rounder and believes he's a fit with Jacksonville.
How could would it be to see Ross reunite with Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne in Duval? Ross appeared to be a future first-rounder his first two years on campus, posting 46-1000-9 and 66-865-8 receiving lines as one of Lawrence's favorite targets. After that, one misfortune after another. In Spring 2000, Ross took a hit in practice that required a doctor trip. At it, he learned he had Klippel-Feil syndrome, a congenital fusion in his spine. Ross missed the following season after undergoing back surgery in June 2020. Last August, as he was preparing for his return, Ross tested positive for COVID-19 and lost 15 pounds. He wasn't anywhere near 100-percent when the campaign started and saw limited snaps. Then in November, Ross suffered a stress fracture in his left foot that he played through before opting out of the bowl. He's back training now and ran a 4.63 40-yard dash at Clemson's pro day. We agree with Reid's Round 4 assessment, but also think there's a shot Ross could sneak into the end of Round 3.
