02Scheme fit
Ideal system
One-gap 4-3 penetrating front, emphasizing quickness and disruption from the defensive tackle position.
3-technique DT2i-technique DT
Best role
Rotational interior pass rusher with potential to develop into a starting 3-technique by Year 2.
Wrong fit
Two-gapping nose tackle in a traditional 3-4 scheme, where his lack of consistent anchor strength and block shedding would be exposed.
Ford offers disruptive potential as a penetrator in a scheme that values upfield pressure, but lacks the size to hold his own at the point of attack.
