- The Cincinnati Bengals selected Washington WR John Ross with the ninth overall pick in the NFL draft Thursday.
- Ross set a combine record for the fastest 40-yard dash (4.22 seconds).
- His 3.04 yards per route run last season ranked 14th among college receivers with at least 100 targets.
- Ross ranked 11th among FBS receivers last year, dropping only 4.71 percent of his catch opportunities.
- Ross caught 48.1 percent of his deep targets last year, which ranked eighth among FBS wide receivers who had at least 25 deep targets.
- Ross is now paired opposite A.J. Green, immediately making them among the most dynamic receiving tandems in the NFL.
Bengals add speed, take speedy WR John Ross at No. 9
