Plyler on Ford: "Ford is a little unpolished at this point, but he has a lot of upsize and a lot of tools to develop into a dominating wide receiver. At the Shrine Bowl, he showed really big and strong hands. I think he is going to be a physical mismatch once he understands the system and develops."
