Kansas City Chiefs receiver Justyn Ross came down with a leaping touchdown catch against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday and social media went ballistic after the score became official.
Ross has been a highly touted prospect for Kansas City after the Chiefs picked him up as an undrafted free agent in 2022. It took some time for him to get on the field due to an injury he sustained as a collegian at Clemson, but Ross has taken every opportunity that Andy Reid has given him and is blossoming into a potential game changer for Kansas City ahead of the regular season.
While plays like this won’t count toward his official statistics in 2023, the potential that Ross has flashed shouldn’t be ignored. With more playing time and an expanded role in the Chiefs’ offense, Ross could be a breakout player for Kansas City in 2023.
Check out the top Twitter reactions to Ross’ exceptional score on Saturday:
👀Yes, This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for this Offense to do, throw it up to a WR that’s gonna get on the elevator and Go Get It💪🏾💯🔥!! Keep grinding young fella! It’s paying off👍🏾🔥👏🏾 Justyn Ross reminds me of one of my favorite shows when I was a kid…🤣😂 pic.twitter.com/mrF2dvL7Bd

Fewf, Justyn Ross is that dude. #Chiefs GM Brett Veach on Ross after that TD: "Yeah, it has been great. Last year our training staff did a great job. . . He's really starting to get that confidence back . . ."

Nice jump ball by Justyn Ross there. That will come in handy for redzone work this fall. #Chiefs

Justyn Ross has delivered and then some this preseason and training camp. Love to see it.

I *really* hope we get a healthy Justyn Ross this season. He’s battled so hard to get back onto the field and had serious talent at Clemson. Would give the Chiefs a legit redzone target.

This preseason, we’ve seen Justyn Ross…
– Create 1v1 separation with route running
– Break tackles after the catch
– Find the right space in zone coverageWe were just missing the contested catch to top it all off. He’s checked all the boxes
