Professional career

[edit]

In April 2016, Ross agreed to attend the training camp of the Atlanta Falcons.[2][3]

He signed with the BC Lions in January 2017.[3] In April 2018, Ross was released by the Lions and then signed by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[4] He was let go in September.[5]

In October 2018, Ross signed with the Memphis Express.[6] However, he was selected by the San Diego Fleet with the last pick of the 2019 AAF QB Draft.[7] During the fourth game of the 2019 AAF season against the Express, Ross replaced an injured Philip Nelson in the second quarter; he completed 8 of 18 passes for 80 yards, a touchdown (to Marcus Baugh) and an interception, and lost two fumbles in the 26–23 loss.[8][9][10] The league ceased operations in April 2019.[11]
