Clemson wide receiver Jacoby Ford told me this week that he's worked out for the receivers coaches of the Denver Broncos and the Cleveland Browns. He'll also be working out at the Dolphins' pro day for local area prospects on April 9.
Ford posted the top electronic forty-time (4.28 seconds) among the receivers at the NFL Combine, but teams have realized that he's got a lot more to offer than speed.
"They definitely like my toughness, and being smooth and polished as a route-runner," he said. "Teams are talking to me about being a slot receiver, but they've been asking me if I'm comfortable outside, too. I played three different positions last year, so I think that's going to benefit me this year."



I will say this.......anyone remember Pittsburgs rookie..the kid Wallace playing against us? That speed killed us.

I wouldnt mind having that in our huddle...........:coffee:

You'd have to be excited about the potential of a guy who had the fastest 40 at the combine... that said I'd have a long list of receivers above him and wouldn't consider drafting him until the fourth round.

Can he return KOs or punts?

Not at the level you would hope for a guy with his speed.

Yes, but Spiller was prime weapon for Clemson for that.

He ran a 4.28? Raiders will trade to number 1 overall and draft him.

I'd take him in the 3rd or 4th. He's a burner and we could definitely use a player with speed as a hybrid WR/RB.
