SEMO CB Michael Ford built his case on ball skills and steady two-way competitiveness
Michael Ford emerged at Southeast Missouri State as a three-year starter who earned Second-Team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors in 2015 and finished his SEMO career with 7 interceptions, a strong indicator of disruptive coverage ability. He was also recognized as a preseason All-America-level defender and later reached the NFL, which underscores his playmaking profile and versatility rather than just raw volume stats. The differentiator: Ford looked like a reliable, instinctive corner with proven production against FCS competition, making him a fit for teams that value experience, ball awareness, and a competitive, battle-tested defender.
