Justyn Ross is already turning his teammates’ heads at Kansas City Chiefs’ OTAs

Earlier this month, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney said Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross “might be the greatest free agent ever if he stays healthy.”

Ross missed the 2020 season after “congenital fusion of his upper cervical spine and then a surgical fusion at a level below,” as the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported.

Although Ross played in Clemson’s 2021 season, he went undrafted and signed with the Chiefs, who said he had been medically cleared to play football.

It’s fair to say Ross is off to a strong start.

The Chiefs started organized team activities (OTAs) on Wednesday and the team shared a highlight of Ross reaching to make an impressive one-handed catch.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was wowed by Ross’ catch ... and his reaction.

“Craziest part about this was dude acted like this was normal after he caught it,” Mahomes wrote on Twitter.

Tight end Travis Kelce also was fired up by the grab.

“I felt like I was the only one that got hype when I saw it live!! WE NEED MORE JUICE!!” he tweeted.

Ross wrote in response: “got u next time brotha” with smiling emojis.

  • The long battle for more US aid for Ukraine is ending but damage to Kyiv will be hard to reverse

    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden's long, painful battle with Republicans in Congress to secure urgently needed assistance for Ukraine will end Wednesday when he signs into law a $95 billion war aid measure that also includes support for Israel, Taiwan and other allies. But significant damage has been done to the administration’s effort to help Ukraine repel Russia’s brutal invasion during the funding impasse that dates back to August, when Biden made his first emergency spending request for

    Taiwanese chipmaker UMC said on Wednesday it expected a rise in wafer shipments in the second quarter as inventory levels for computing, consumer and communications segments improved, but warned of muted auto and industrial demand. Investors have been on edge about chip demand after UMC's much larger peer TSMC shocked the market last week by dialling back its expectations for the sector's growth this year, especially in more mature technologies used in sectors like autos. United Microelectronics Corp (UMC) focuses on more mature nodes, unlike Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, which is investing big in the most advanced 2 and 1 nanometre technology to power artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

    President Joe Biden will sign a bill into law on Wednesday that provides billions of dollars of new aid to Ukraine for its war with Russia, a bipartisan victory for the president as he seeks re-election and a boost to allies who have looked to Washington to support Kiev. Biden, a Democrat who is expected to face Republican former President Donald Trump, a Ukraine aid skeptic, in the November election, has pressed lawmakers for six months to approve more funding for Ukraine, which has been fighting a full-scale Russian invasion for more than two years. Despite bipartisan support, a proposed package of aid idled amid opposition mostly from Republicans closely tied to Trump.

  • EMERGING MARKETS-Stocks rally for third day; Indonesia delivers surprise rate hike

    Emerging market stocks rose on Wednesday, extending their recovery for a third day, supported by a more than 2% jump in the Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan bourses, while Indonesia's rupiah strengthened after the central bank raised interest rates unexpectedly. The rupiah rose 0.4% against the dollar after Bank Indonesia's surprise 25 bps hike, in efforts to support the currency which has fallen to four-year lows on growing risk aversion and a delay in the expected timing of any U.S. policy easing. "We reckon that today's hike will prove to be a one-and-done, and continue to believe that BI will start a gradual normalisation of policy in Q4, as soon as headline inflation falls below its actual 2.5% target," said Miguel Chanco, chief emerging Asia economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.
