United States Justyn Ross is a professional wide receiver who has achieved two Super Bowl championships and a CFP national championship during his career.
Clemson receiver Justyn Ross partnered with The Players Trunk under the NCAA's NIL rules, a company he knew through former teammates.
Justyn Ross was born on December 15, 1999, in Phenix City, Alabama. He attended Central High School in Phenix City, where he excelled as a wide receiver. As a senior, Ross recorded 37 receptions for 730 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was recognized as a four-star recruit and ranked as the number 45 national recruit, as well as the seventh-best wide receiver in the nation. Ross received offers from multiple NCAA Division I programs, including Alabama, Clemson, Auburn, and Duke, ultimately committing to Clemson University for his college football career.
Ross began his college career at Clemson in 2018. During his freshman year, he achieved 46 receptions for 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns. A significant early career milestone occurred in the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship against Alabama, where he contributed with six receptions for 153 yards and one touchdown, helping his team secure the CFP national championship. In his sophomore season in 2019, Ross recorded 66 receptions for 865 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. His college career was impacted when he missed the entire 2020 season due to a congenital fusion condition of his neck and spine, which required surgery; he was granted a medical redshirt. Upon his return in 2021 as a redshirt junior, Ross led the team with 524 receiving yards on 47 receptions and three touchdowns in ten games. He concluded his time at Clemson ranking fifth all-time in career receiving touchdowns with 20, deciding to enter the NFL Draft on January 6, 2022.
Despite his college achievements, Ross was not selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, primarily due to injury concerns regarding his neck and back. He subsequently signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent on May 7, 2022. His rookie NFL season was impacted by an offseason foot surgery, leading to him being placed on injured reserve on July 25, 2022, and missing the entire season. Ross earned his first Super Bowl championship when the Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. He later earned a second Super Bowl title when the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. Ross was waived by the Chiefs on August 27, 2024, and re-signed to the practice squad.
