Auburn Tiger Johnathan "Rudy" Ford Chosen By the Cardinals in Round 6

Johnathan "Rudy" Ford came to Auburn as a running back. He was converted to defensive back prior to his freshman 2013 season and flourished there for the rest of his career. He led the Tigers in tackles during his sophomore and junior seasons. If he hadn't lost time in 2016 due to injury, he likely would have been at or near the top again in his final season.

Now, he's officially a Cardinal as he was chosen with the 208th pick in Round 6.

The Cardinals are getting one of the most versatile players in football. He can play Safety or Nickel.
