Kansas City Chiefs WR Justyn Ross did his best Randy Moss impression during the first half of the team's preseason Week 3 tilt against the Cleveland Browns.
The Chiefs needed a touchdown in the worst possible way and Shane Buechele desperately needed some confidence back after throwing two interceptions. Buechele marched the team down the field and on a nine-play, 90-yard scoring drive. On the touchdown-scoring play, he found Ross on a short left-corner fade route. He simply floated the ball up for Ross, who went up over the defender in coverage to make an easy touchdown grab.
The team tweeted out the highlight with the caption "YOU GOT ROSS'D" as a play on NFL legend Randy Moss' signature catchphrase. Check it out:
This was the first of many touchdowns to come for Ross at Arrowhead Stadium and his second touchdown grab of the preseason. You can see just how excited all his teammates were for the touchdown, running down the sideline to congratulate him in the end zone. After all, Ross has been through a lot in terms of injury struggles throughout his career. Everyone is excited to see him play, including Chiefs GM Brett Veach.
"Yeah, it has been great," Veach said on NFL Network's broadcast. "Obviously, everyone knows the fast start he had in college that got sidetracked by injuries. Last year our training staff did a great job of bringing him back and giving him the time he needed. I think halfway through the OTAs, I really think you started to see it. He really starting to get that confidence, that self-belief back and it has continued on through training camp, so we're expecting big things from Justyn (Ross) this year."
Ross is attempting to make the 53-man roster for the first time after missing the entire 2022 NFL season with an injury last year. If he can continue to make plays like that during the regular season, I don't think he'll have much of a problem making the roster from here on out.
