Clemson Football: Twitter reacts to the Justyn Ross OTA hype

Former Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross is a very talented football player who has proven it on multiple occasions.

Signed by the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, Ross spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve due to a foot injury. After months of recovery, he is back on the field and receiving continuous hype from the best quarterback in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes.

Ross had 158 receptions for 2,379 yards and 20 touchdowns over three years. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound receiver was forced to miss his junior season due to a congenital fusion in his spine, but he returned to the field in 2021 for his senior season.

A healthy Justyn Ross could be a serious contributor for the Chiefs who have an opening at wide receiver. If he does stay healthy, watch out for Ross in 2023.

A clip recently surfaced of Mahomes hitting Ross with a deep ball at OTAs and it got the people talking.

Here is a look at how Twitter reacted to the deep ball and hype surrounding Ross right now.

The #Chiefs picked up Justyn Ross – a first round talent – as a UDFA and gave him the surgery and time he needed to get fully healthy. That could pay huge dividends this year and beyond. I really can't wait to see how he gets on in camp!

"Justyn is coming along. He feels good, his foot feels good (and) the surgery that he had worked out well up to this point. He's made some nice plays for us out here. I know Pat's (Mahomes) got trust in him, so that's good to see." – Andy Reid. https://t.co/GEwuwOWWf0
