Ford is set to play for his fourth team in four seasons after previously playing for the Falcons, Broncos, and Lions. A key contributor on special teams, the former undrafted free agent hasn't played more than 83 defensive snaps since 2019, and will now look to bolster the Browns' special teams unit next season.

Ford spent 2021 with the Broncos after playing in Detroit for three seasons. Ford was a key special teams player for Denver, totaling 240 snaps and six solo tackles last year. He got more run at corner while with the Lions but will likely stick to special teams in Atlanta.

Ford was coming off a shoulder injury that he suffered in the season finale against the Packers, but seems to have recovered from the issue. He was also seen filling in at the safety position during OTAs, which could help him nail down a roster spot if he shows the coaches he can adequately play multiple secondary positions.
