6. (204) Jacob Ford, OLB/DE

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Draft Report, Front Page by squarebettor on Thursday 21 June 2007 at 4:07 pm

The Titans probably drafted Jacob Ford with the idea of converting him into an outside linebacker. He certainly has the physical skills to handle the job as he’s 6′4″, 249 pounds and he runs a 4.62 40. Ford has a couple of big obstacles to overcome as he has never played a game without one hand on the ground. The other big problem will be the jump in competition as he played his college ball at Central Arkansas. In 24 games (all starts) at C.Arkansas, Ford made 102 tackles, 32.5 tackles for a loss, had 17 sacks, forced 10 fumbles, recovered 4 fumbles (1 returned for a TD) and he broke up 9 passes.

    Jacob Ford Is a true football player, he has the speed and the smarts to play in the NFL, I played with him at Holmes JR college In Goodman,MS He tought all of us a t Holmes how to play football I will a fullback he was so exciting on the feild i went over to the DLine. He will make a big impact in the NFL and make some probowls aswell. He tough me a lot at JR college to play every down like its your last.
    I don’t wish him the best because he is the best! the NFL will see how great he really is.

    We’ll see if Ford can handle the jump from Central Arkansas to the NFL. It’s a big jump but it’s been done before and will be done again. The Titans definately can use the help on the defensive side of the football so he will get a chance to prove himself.

    Do you remeber the QB #9? Where did he play Alcorn! And at QB one of the hardest spots in the game. He did it so Ford will be even better.
    If he mess up from time to time you want know it If he was a QB you would.

    He will be the Starter Did you forget he came from D1 football also juco football in my eyes D1 aswell why? Because mostly all juco players are D1, they just didn’t have the grades. Not all but some.
