Former Virginia Tech volume receiver with polished route skills and proven production
Ford was a high-volume, chain-moving Virginia Tech WR who led the Hokies in receiving production and finished his college career as the program’s all-time receiving yardage leader with 2,967 yards; PFF’s draft scouting noted a strong catch radius and route-running feel, but also pointed to an inconsistent catch rate in college. Since then, his NFL profile has been that of a dependable depth receiver rather than a featured target, with career production of 63 catches for 681 yards and 2 TDs, so he fits best as a savvy, ready-made role player rather than a true WR1.
