2022 Fantasy Outlook
Standing at 6-foot-6, 260 pounds, Ford has been a very proficient blocking tight end throughout his collegiate career. But, he has yet to truly live up to his status as a four-star recruit while stuck in Illinois’ limited passing offense. The Georgia transfer should finally have the opportunity to pop as the No. 1 tight end in new offensive coordinator Barry Lunney Jr.’s “up-tempro” offense, however. Lunney, who is a former tight ends coach himself, will likely turn to Ford as one of the team’s most experienced receiving options for transfer quarterback Tommy DeVito.
