Through two NFL seasons Preston Brown Jersey , Bengals wide receiver John Ross has been a big disappointment, catching a total of just 21 passes in the two years since he was the ninth overall pick in the draft. But this year, Ross says, things feel different.Ross credited new Bengals head coach Zac Taylor with bringing a type of teamwork and competitiveness that was lacking in years past.“The energy is completely different,” Ross told ESPN. “Everyone is just having a good time. Even in the locker room. It’s not just on the field. We come in here, and we’re in there playing basketball, we’re in the weight room having a good time, we’re in the locker room or training room and everyone is smiling. I know the season hasn’t started yet, but it’s good to see. It’s a good sign of good things coming.”Ross was the subject of trade speculation during the offseason Ryan Finley Jersey , but talks never went anywhere, perhaps because Ross hasn’t done anything to make any team want to trade for him. He’ll have to show on the field that he can be a part of a different energy in Cincinnati. It’s not uncommon for players actively working on contract extensions to stay away from OTA workouts, to minimize the risk to future earnings.But for Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd, he’s opting to continue, with his fingers crossed.“I’m just trying to do what’s right,” Boyd told Paul Dehner Jr. of TheAthletic.com. “I’m going to be a team player and go out there and work my tail off. I’m not going to try to skip out on reps or miss a day. That’s the best approach to it. Typically, a guy trying to come out to a season saying, ‘you have to pay me,’ it shows where the care is going. He is a ‘me’ guy. Or Cheap Renell Wren Jersey , you are still working and going to be a team guy. I am not trying to strategize and make it seem like I’m just trying to do what’s right [to get a deal done], that’s just the way I am.”The Bengals would like to extend Boyd as well as A.J. Green, preferably before the season starts. Boyd emerged last season, with 1,072 yards in just 14 games, and he sounds amenable.“That’s what I’m saying, bruh, I want to be here,” Boyd said. “I think they feel that and know that. In my feeling Michael Jordan Jersey Limited , I think it is going to be done before camp. But ain’t no telling. I’m just going to continue to keep being patient and trust the process.”That trust might be misplaced, as an injury during OTAs could wipe out his market before a contract year.“We ain’t doing nothing crazy,” Boyd said. “I don’t have to go out there and show how good I am, even though I want to put it on tape that I’m a great player and put good things on film. At the same time, I know how to practice like a pro. I get out of breaks clean. You go out and play lazy, that’s when you get hurt. I just want to go out there and work.”And hope.
