The quickest player in Major League Baseball, Reds centerfielder Billy Hamilton, who leads the league in stolen bases, was already in Cincinnati. He made the All-Star Game as a reserve and won the Home Run Derby, beating out Cody Bellinger of the Dodgers in the final round.
Ross was drafted by the Bengals with the number one overall pick. He ran a 4.22 40-yard dash at the Combine. That's faster than any player in NFL history except for Michael Johnson (4.20).
