RB Keith Ford

Postby Snickers » Mon Dec 24, 2018 2:06 pm

After doing a few searches on the forums, I am surprised to see little mention of Bill's RB Keith Ford. Ford is in a peculiar situation. A five-star Texas high school recruit, committed to Oklahoma and transferred to Texas A&M after discipline issues. He has some okay numbers in college, picked up by Buffalo and moved from the practice squad to the active roster because of injuries to McCoy and Ivory. He started the Week 16 game against New England and got some touches in Week 15.

He is in line behind two old, ailing RBs whose contracts are done after the 2019 season. Now, he is almost 25, but I feel he may have an opportunity to potentially get a chance.

This was the report from Buffalo press before the season:

"Ford is an intriguing prospect whose resume is underwhelming, but his athletic measurables are definitely intriguing. His 4.54 40-yard dash at his pro day would have tied him for ninth had he scored an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine. He also would have finished in the top-ten in the bench press (19 reps, would tie for 8th), vertical jump (39,” would be 4th), broad jump (10’6,” would tie for 3rd), and the three-cone drill (7.09, would tie for 9th). If he shows a willingness to play special teams and puts together a solid preseason, he could find his way onto the final roster. Otherwise, Buffalo may want to keep him on the practice squad for the season to allow him to develop further."

He's JAG, but 220 lb JAGs can certainly have value if they get work - see Isaiah Crowell, Gus Edwards, Mike Gillislee, Blount etc
