Chase Ford A Late Round Pick Teams Like

ChaseFord
TE Chase Ford, Miami (FL): Despite an underwhelming career at The U, Chase Ford may have a bright future in the NFL. At just shy of 6'7" and 255lbs, he ran a 4.75 in the 40 yard dash with a 33 inch vertical, and good agility measures. Most importantly, I watched him live during East-West Shrine practices and he made plays all over the place. This translated to the game itself as he hauled in a big seam pass, broke the tackles of two defenders that came at him simultaneously, and used his speed to create a bunch of yards after contact. He made so many big plays like that in practice that by the end, quarterbacks were looking for him. Watching his highlights from JUCO at Kilgore, you see the same play maker. The black hole in his record is his time with The U, but he would hardly be the first athlete in recent memory that they have failed to utilize or develop properly, that go on to be better pros than collegians.

Chase Ford Projected To Go in 5th Round

ChaseFord
TE Chase Ford, Miami (Fla.): Had a good showing at this year's East-West Shine Game. For a guy at his size (6-6, 245 pounds) with his body control, Ford looks like an option you can draft late and try to mature into an every-down type option. Has the frame to add weight and get much bigger.

Chase Ford Raises His Draft Stock

ChaseFord
TE Chase Ford, Miami (Fla.): With only 16 career catches at Miami the past two years, Ford was a bit of an unknown entering this week. But he quickly showed off his skills as a natural pass catcher with fluid body control and terrific hand/eye coordination. At 6-feet-6 and 258 pounds, Ford has the size and frame for the position with reliable hands, especially in traffic. He is a bit one-dimensional as a pass-catcher and needs a lot of work as a blocker, but certainly put his name on the draftable radar after his work this week.

Ford had a leaping 64-yard catch-and-run for the East in the East-West Shrine Game in a 24-17 loss. Ford finished with the most receiving yards for the East squad. Ford was tough to guard all week and he flashed his potential when he made a big 64 yard grab and run despite taking a big shot on the play. Like many other athletic tight ends, Ford needs major work on his blocking, but he certainly has upside and is worth a look at.

Chase Ford Performing Excellently in East-West Shrine Game Practices

NFLU2009
TE Chase Ford, Miami (Fla.): He had only 16 catches in his two seasons with the Hurricanes, but he worked very well Tuesday. While he struggled in blocking drills, especially with his angles and body positioning, Ford looked natural catching the ball with body fluidity, above-average focus and soft hands. After practice, a scout confirmed my beliefs Ford is "one-dimensional" at this point, but the upside is there and he has definitely improved his chances at getting drafted.
