Texas A&M RB Powerhouse Turned NFL Journeyman, No Trace on Northwestern State Demons DT Roster
Keith Ford, the 5-11, 215-lb Texas A&M running back (2015-17), exploded for 493 rushing yards and a team-high 11 TDs in 2017, including a 114-yard, 3-TD opener vs. UCLA; high school legend at Cy-Ranch with 278 all-purpose yards and 4 TDs in a 2012 comeback win. NFL career modest (79 yards on 21 carries, 3.8 avg across stints with Lions, Patriots, Packers '18+), now listed with XFL's Battlehawks—not Northwestern State's DT roster. Versatile, explosive differentiator with RB intensity, but undersized frame and limited pro visioning make him a depth/special teams fit, not starter material for DL-needy teams.
