Plus the 40 does not measure top speed of the fastest players. Last time I checked, top speed was part of how fast someone is.

He could have played at the end of the 2015 season, so he's essentially been healthy for two years. Adrian Peterson also tore his ACL, is he injury prone?

      Ross is strong enough to break press. Plus, it's not like the Bengals are one dimensional now. They have Mixon and Gio able to catch, and Boyd, Lafell and Green. You're acting like players like Desean Jackson, Brandon Cooks and Tyreek Hill can't beat press because they're small and fast. If that's not it, what's your argument against him?
