The Eagles are signing a familiar name after his rookie minicamp tryout, as former Bengals first-round pick John Ross has signed a one year deal with the team.
Ross held the record for the fastest 40-yard dash time at the NFL scouting combine at 4.22 seconds. Former Texas and Chiefs’ new rookie receiver Xavier Worthy broke it back in March.

Injuries limited Ross throughout his tenure in Cincinnati, and his most productive years came in 2018 when he logged seven touchdown catches among his 21 receptions and then in 2018 when Ross had 28 catches for 508 yards, averaging more than 18 yards per reception.
In five seasons with the Bengals and Giants, Ross logged 62 catches for 957 yards and 11 touchdowns.
