Past Fantasy Outlooks
2011
2010
Ford is heading into the year under the radar thanks to Mikel Leshoure hogging the spotlight in Illinois, but Ford should put up nice numbers himself. He’s not the talent Leshoure is, but like Leshoure, Ford is a big bruiser who should have no trouble shouldering a feature back role. Even with Leshoure around, Ford still ran for 480 yards and seven touchdowns last year.
Ford was expected to be the starter last season, but finished in more of a complementary role. He recorded 588 yards and four touchdowns with a 6.1-yard per carry average. A star recruit coming into school, he proves valuable around the goal line, running for eight scores in 2008. He should get a decent amount of touches, including being used as a receiver where he caught 11 passes for 128 yards last season.
