Former Bengals First Round Pick John Ross Hoping to Make NFL Return

The former Bengal is hoping to make a comeback.

CINCINNATI — Former Bengals first round pick John Ross is hoping to make an NFL return. 

After retiring in July, Ross was waived from the Chiefs reserve/retired list. He's hoping to join a practice squad according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. 

The Bengals took Ross with the ninth overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He famously ran a 4.22 40-yard dash, which is the fastest time in NFL Combine history.

Ross has 62 career catches for 957 yards and 11 touchdowns in 37 games. He hasn't played in an NFL game since 2021. 

The #Chiefs waived WR John Ross from the reserve/retired list today. The ninth overall pick in the 2017 Draft wants to make a return to the league and will look for an opportunity on a roster or practice squad.
