The thing that I liked about Ford is that he has 63 career catches in 32 games.

Not a lot of depth receivers in the NFL average 2 catches a game. Sure, they might get 4 or 5 in one game if he is hot that game but then can go long stretches without any.

2021: 10 games with targets, catches in 7 of them. Catch rate 70.6%
2020: 09 games with targets, catches in 9 of them. Catch rate 63.6%
2019: 08 games with targets, catches in 6 of them. Catch rate 65.7%

I like the consistency of actual producing in most games he was thrown at.

I am not saying he is world beating and there are probably reasons that he was still available and not on a roster at the start of training camp. We is looking at WR4 at best.

But for a depth WR? I like his performance.

It will sound sentimental, but I would rather have TY over Jones. He has more personal investment in and to the team. He would be good for the rookie receivers.
