Wide Receiver John Ross Is DeSean Jackson II (only younger)
By Bret Stuter
NFL Teams love a vertical threat in a wide receiver. With plenty of young NFL quarterbacks looking for weapons, Washington Huskies wide receiver John Ross would be the perfect fit
He is a Washington Husky. He is John Ross III university of Washington Alum. Zoom⚡️ . He is a red-shirted junior, he is turning heads all across the nation, and he’s headed for the NFL Draft. Oh.. and one other thing, he is probably one of the most dangerous vertical threat wide receivers since DeSean Jackson.

How do I know? I used to cover DeSean Jackson when I wrote for InsideTheIggles.com . I can tell you, the comparisons are 100 percent legit.
And perhaps the most important piece to know? He’s declared for the 2017 NFL Draft.
