Perhaps our next Mike backer

It's  a great read, albeit a bit long but worth the time. Ross has the desire, the familiarity of the system. Has the physical tools, but does he have the instincts, the discipline it takes to be a long term middle backer?

The importance of players in Macdonald’s defense has been discussed heavily this offseason, with the buzzword being “versatility.” If that’s what Ross needs to be on the roster, it sounds as if he has a leg up.

“Well, he’s playing both positions, which is harder than people might imagine,” Macdonald said. “‘Mike,’ ‘Will,’ ‘Dime’ ... all those things. He was just playing the ‘Mike’ spot for us last year.

Great read and reporting. Nice find. 

I think he makes the 53-man roster as a UFA. He could be a real pleasant surprise at a weak position. Macdonald seems high on him. 6' 225.See the source image

We need to watch him Saturday night.
