Packers select DT Jonathan Ford with 234th pick in 2022 NFL Draft

The Green Bay Packers added some depth to their defensive line, taking Miami’s Jonathan Ford in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft with the 234th overall selection.

Ford is a massive human being, coming in at 6’5” and 333 pounds. A three-year player for the Hurricanes, Ford surprisingly spent most of his time lined up as a three-tech on the defense line, although he also played a fair share of snaps at nose tackle.

It’s also worth noting that Ford was used on field goal and PAT blocking teams. As a seventh-round, any kind of experience on special teams could help Ford catch the eye of special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia to help him snag a spot on the final 53-man roster.
