As I reminded you in these pages about a month ago, Chiefs linebacker Dee Ford has had a career full of ups and downs in Kansas City.
Ford, 27, was an unexpected selection for the Chiefs in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. But with Justin Houston and Tamba Hali entrenched as starters, Ford was seen as a developmental player and got little playing time in his rookie season.
In 2015 — thanks to an injury to Justin Houston — he got a chance to start five games.
