The Atlanta Falcons have added more depth to their secondary, signing veteran cornerback Mike Ford to a one-year deal on Friday.
Ford, 26, signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He spent three years in Detroit (2018-2020) before landing in Denver last season.

Ford has played in 44 NFL games over four seasons with seven starts, racking up 50 solo tackles and defending four passes. While he should primarily provide depth on special teams, Ford has experience playing both in the slot and on the outside.
It was also reported on Friday that Atlanta will meet with quarterbacks Matt Corral and Sam Howell next week as the team prepares for the 2022 NFL draft.
