Cody Ford NFL draft profile

Cody Ford | OT | Oklahoma

Height | 6-4

Weight | 338

Class | RS Junior

College Bio

Ford entered the season as a relative unknown and elevated his draft stock significantly throughout the course of the year. His success helped Oklahoma win the Joe Moore Award, which is awarded to the best offensive line in college football.

Ford has a rare combination of strength, mobility, and athleticism for a player of his size. He can essentially devastate a defender with his initial punch, jolting them off balance and gaining control. When he uses his long arms to latch on, he can steer the defender where ever he wants. Massive and strong lower body, he moves well off the ball and hardly giving up the corner.

He has overwhelming power on initial contact. Ford keeps his feet moving after contact and tries to finish blocks, playing with a nasty streak. He has the athleticism to pick up blocks in space and adjust to linebackers while on the move. Ford is an instant impact player, who can play either tackle spot with the ceiling of a long term All-Pro.

Projection: 1st Round
