The Arizona Cardinals have their eyes on running backs as they prepare for the NFL draft at the end of the month. According to Jordan Schultz, the Cardinals were using one of their official top-30 visits on Cincinnati running back Jerome Ford this week.
Ford measures in at 5-1 and 220 lbs. He ran the 40 in 4.46 seconds at the NFL combine and posted a 31-inch vertical leap and 118-inch broad jump.
In 2021, his only season with the Bearcats, he rushed for 1,319 yards and 19 touchdowns on 6.1 yards per attempt. Previously, he played for Alabama but was behind other running backs like Brian Robinson, Najee Harris and Josh Jacobs. His transfer to Cincinnati proved to be smart.
He has good physical traits and can catch the ball as well.
He could be a target for the Cardinals on Day 3 of the draft, as they have five selections in the sixth and seventh rounds.
