Paris Ford was a ball-hawking, high-motor Pitt DB with NFL-level physicality
In the 2020 season, Paris Ford was one of Pitt’s defensive engines, leading the Panthers with 45 tackles and 3 interceptions before opting out, and earlier in his Pitt career he piled up 95 solo tackles and 6 interceptions. He stood out for his aggressive downhill style, strong ball skills, and fearless run support, but evaluators also flagged tackling consistency and average long-speed as concerns. If your team wants a tone-setting, instinctive defensive back who plays bigger than his frame and brings edge every snap, Ford fits the mold.
