Ross was a standout at Clemson University. During his freshman season, he recorded 46 receptions for 1,000 yards, scoring nine touchdowns.
The following season, he caught 66 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. He missed the 2020 season due to a congenital fusion condition of his neck and spine that required surgery.
As a senior in 2021, he had a drop in production, catching 47 passes for 524 yards and three touchdowns. He was undrafted due to medical concerns and then missed all of his rookie season in 2022 due to an offseason foot surgery.
Patrick Mahomes has given Justyn Ross high praise this offseason
Justyn Ross has been getting praised left and right this offseason.
Via the Atheltic, Patrick Mahomes said:
“He’s had a good one. Learning the offense fast. You can tell he’s been in the offense for a year now. Obviously making big plays, and he’s getting more involved in those first-team reps. So, a guy that I have a lot of hope for that he can be a really good player in this offense.”
Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes talk Justyn Ross and impressive camp

Head coach Andy Reid double-downed on Mahomes' comments and complimented Ross for the offseason he's been having:
“He’s doing good. (Last year) was a redshirt year that he probably didn’t want to have, right, with the injury. But he’s done a nice job. He had a good offseason, and then he’s worked his tail off here and he just needs to keep doing that. It’s how you answer the bell every day and push through it. But he’s got the right mindset to do that.”
The Chiefs' top-three wide receivers include Kadarius Toney, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore. Justyn Ross will compete with guys such as Justin Watson, Rashee Rice, Cornell Powell, Richie James and others for some playing time this season.
