When a Hall of Famer talks, you’d be wise to listen!
No one is questioning Miami Dolphins wide receiver Isaiah Ford’s wisdom this morning after a really cool exchange between Ford and Dolphins legend Paul Warfield at a South Florida Topgolf facility as part of Miami’s extensive Super Bowl festivities this week. The moment, which was captured and shared by Topgolf’s social account yesterday afternoon, offers a glimpse into the football fraternity at a very intimate level — where the tricks of the trade are timeless and gladly passed from one generation to the next.
Seeing Ford simply soak in Warfield’s input says it all:
Ford, who logged his first significant NFL action in 2019 as a member of the Dolphins, will hope to put Warfield’s tips to good use this summer when he attempts to make Miami’s upgraded 53-man roster for the 2020 season. He’ll face stiff competition from DeVante Parker, Preston Williams, Jakeem Grant and Allen Hurns, leaving little wiggle room to ensure a spot on the roster — especially if the Dolphins choose to bring back WR Albert Wilson for another season. The return of Wilson is currently slim, given his financial obligations. But there’s little stopping the Dolphins from targeting a wide receiver prospect in the mid-rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft, especially given how much draft capital they have at this disposal.
Every little bit will help Ford latch onto the roster, including a tip here or there from a Hall of Famer.
