Quote:Dee Ford is a little perplexing to me. During the couple regular season games I watched, I came away from the games with a thought that he showed good effort, but was not stellar to me. However, the senior bowl week showed him as an impact stellar athlete at the rush spot. Teams are hungry for combination pass rushers and effort guys; it would not surprise me now to see him taken in the top 15 picks. Before the senior bowl, I thought he showed as a 3rd round type of try hard guy.

What teams are going to have to figure out is if the amazing hand skills he showed against Ogbuehi in the last week of the season are for real. Before that game he was pretty much a one trick speed rusher that often got abused by the more athletic OTs that could keep up with him. Then against Ogbuehi he magically showed ridiculous skills with violent hands and great placement and he whipped a future top 10 pick in Ogbuehi with an awesome total package of skills.

 

Then for the Senior Bowl he was back to one trick speed rush pony...but it was all he needed as he totally outclassed the Senior Bowl OTs with just the speed rush. I wish he would have been tested more there to see if he how versatile he really is.
