Canadian cornerback back with Big Blue after NFL foray

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive back is picking up right where he left off after appearing in all 18 CFL games during the 2022 season when he was a fresh-faced rookie and recorded 10 special teams tackles and three more on defence. Ford was granted his release last season so he could pursue his NFL dream with the Green Bay Packers, but he's back in the fold and chasing a starting job in the secondary. Spending time inside the hallowed halls at Lambeau Field is something Ford won't soon forget, though most of the sentimentality gave way to a steely focus on the task at hand. “I tried not to think too much (about) it,” said Ford.
