Louisville TE Declares for 2023 NFL Draft After Solid Junior Season
Marshon Ford, a 6-2, 240-pound redshirt junior tight end for the Louisville Cardinals, declared for the 2023 NFL Draft, foreclosing his remaining collegiate eligibility after a productive 2022 season where he showcased reliable hands and physicality in the 240-pound range [1][2]. His differentiators include a strong work ethic, intensity as a blocker, and the ability to stretch the seam despite limited receiving volume—traits that make him a high-floor, low-risk fit for teams needing a traditional, physical TE rather than a flashy pass-catcher. No major injury history is noted, and his decision to enter the draft signals confidence in his readiness for the next level.
