Justyn Ross plays first NFL regular season game

Clemson Football fans have been waiting patiently for a moment that finally happened last night. Justyn Ross played in a regular season NFL game.

Ross had one catch for 6 yards on a single target as the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Detroit Lions 21-20 to open the 2023 NFL season.

Not the biggest stat sheet ever for sure, but you have to start somewhere, and its still a great story that the man is on an NFL field at all. Congrats Justyn!
