By Robert Stewart / Times-Picayune
Jay Ross is a defensive tackle his rookie year with the New Orleans Saints. Ross played collegiately at East Carolina, where he was an honorable mention All-Conference USA member three times. He had 140 tackles in four seasons with eight sacks and a fumble returned for a touchdown. He is on the active roster after signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent. Ross recently spoke with staff writer Robert Stewart.
Who was one player you admired growing up?
"I didn't really watch too much football when I was growing up because I was more of a baseball player. But I heard a lot about Warren Sapp, and being from North Carolina, I used to hear about Rod Coleman all the time. I used to watch Chipper Jones, and I also had a cousin, Sean Ross, that used to play for the Braves. I pretty much just followed the Braves because they were my favorite team back then.
