More about Jacoby...

He’s got a second, third and fourth gear

The most impressive wideout on the North side was Clemson standout Jacoby Ford, who consistently was able to generate separation all afternoon. Ford is a former track star with elite explosion and vertical speed and does a great job eating up cushion off the snap and driving cornerbacks off his routes. He was the one guy who really seemed to intimidate opposing corners in coverage and consistently was able to find the football quickly and adjust to the throw. Ford looks capable of creating big plays for himself any time he’s on the field and has the makings of a legitimate slot threat.

Clemson wide receiver Jacoby Ford: The quarterbacks seem most comfortable going to Ford, who has caught more passes than anyone else in practice. He’s a slot receiver who also returns kicks and punts – all needs for the Lions. He’s speedy, though Jefferson said he needs to show it more.

Wide Receivers – It’s amazing how quick Clemson’s Jacoby Ford is. He was one of the top standouts today; I knew he was fast, but being on the field level about 15-yards away from him running routes sure is a fun thing to watch. The explosion and quick-twitch fibers that he has are terrific. Ford really helped himself today.

Interested in return men? Cincinnati WR Mardy Gilyard and Clemson WR Jacoby Ford took care of return duties today in practice. A smaller player, Ford got loose on a mid-level crossing route and went the distance today and he parlayed that with another deep crossing reception in team drills.

Jacoby Ford put on a show today after a so-so first couple of practices. His speed is as good as advertised and he was exploding out of breaks better than anyone I’ve put the eyeball on so far. He caught everything thrown his way and if that remains the case at the Combine and his pro day, Ford could slip in to the first round.

WEDNESDAY’s WINNERS

Jacoby Ford – WR – Clemson

His speed was on an entirely different level than anyone on the field today. He got the ball in space a few times and simply made the defensive backs appear as if they were wearing bricks as shoes. He even beat Boise State corner Kyle Wilson on a deep route with plenty of separation for the QB to work with.
