James Ross invited back to the Chargers and signed!

Submitted by Michigasling on May 28th, 2016 at 9:08 PM

Per the Chargers' website, James Ross was a "non-contract participant" in San Diego's rookie minicamp, and called back when a safety was placed on IR. Since he wasn't simply replacing another LB, it seems that they liked what they saw in camp and brought him back as soon as a roster spot opened.

There were previous posts here about his invitation to the Ravens camp, but wasn't signed, and a later post about LBs making rosters mentioned he'd been invited to the Chargers' camp also. Great to know it wasn't the end of the story for him.

He could definitely make the team. He definitely has the athletic ability to be a contributor on ST.

I think it was mentioned...but I don't mind it being repeated. Love having him in San Diego. http://www.chargers.com/news/2016/05/24/bolts-sign-lb-james-ross

I did a search, and only found the posts I mentioned above. Not quite sure how I stumbled on the info (the same page you linked to)... But I live in abject terror of posting something redundantly.

But don't sweat it--I'm not the double post police. Besides, I may have read it somewhere else.

You read something other than MGoBlog? I'm fortunate--I never have to try to remember where I read something.

Some guys level up when they get to the NFL. Hope Ross is one of them; he seems to have the smarts to be successful.

I think his game has always been more suited to the pros than college so I think he's got a leg up on making the transition.

Not the biggest guy but definitely has the smarts/instincts to carve out a roll.

That typo creates an amusing mental image. Made my morning.

Lots of unheralded college lbs make it in the NFL. Position can be played at a high level (depending on system and surrounding talent) without elite measurables. Ross is definitely one of those guys who has a shot at that.
