"We have a lot of veterans and a lot of guys who have great talent, and to come in here and be a part of this group is a blessing. We all work hard, and it is a friendly competition here." Ford is happy to have another shot in the NFL this season. "Being out last year, I definitely have a chip on my shoulder, regardless of who came in after me," Ford said. "I am just thankful to have another opportunity in the NFL, just to get back out there. I am going to do everything I can to not let this opportunity slip past me and try and go out there and help this team the best I can." "I’m just going to keep working hard and try and be consistent," Ford said. "I’m going to give it everything I’ve got."

He spent most of that season recovering from Lisfranc surgery. For his NFL career, he has 57 receptions for 848 yards and three receiving touchdowns and also has four kickoff return touchdowns.
