Yeah he’s flashed next level game changing play making. With both instincts, athleticism, and tenacity. One play on teams sticks in my head. Where he dove out around a blocker and tied up a returner, who he then finished the tackle on from his knees. Which is really hard to do.
He’s a partial beneficiary of the nfls move to smaller more dynamic out side backers, and des. He could make an nfl team based on return play and effort alone.
I would really love to see him back and in a full time role next year. I think the step forward he would take is huge. And would position him self for a better nfl shot down the road.
I can’t say if ford got a shot down south. But he certainly seems to soak up coaching at a tremendous level. The improvements he made mid season in 24 were tremendous. Same with his rookie year. He stepped up in a huge way from early on to his late year start.
I think ayers will take a big step next year be it here or in the nfl. 10 more lean pounds could make him unstoppable as well.
Ford I think needs to start. I don’t think he has more to learn from sitting and watching.
