Isaiah Ford – July 30, 2018

WR Isaiah Ford

(What about the pass where you fell on the football?) – “It felt okay. It’s football, so you’re going to be a little sore, especially since … I was just talking with the guys and tell them that it’s my first time being in pads in over a year and a half. Just looking at that and seeing how far I’ve come, it’s a blessing. I’m a little sore, but I’m okay.”

(What was it like to get back into these pads?) – “It was a long time coming. I worked extremely hard trying to get myself healthy, doing the things I need to do to be available and to be out there and just showcase what I can do. I give a lot of props to the training staff and the strength and conditioning staff for helping me get there.”

(As far as coming in as a draft pick and sitting out last year, how tough was it overall for you?) – “It was extremely tough. You always want to be out there. That’s why you play this sport: to compete and to help your team win. So when I wasn’t able to do that, it was a little tough; but I got to learn a lot through it. I got to sit in on meetings and watch film and things like that. It was kind of a redshirt year, so to speak, just to learn the system and to understand what the coaches are expecting.”

(So far, you’ve made a pretty good impact. We’ve seen you in the end zone a couple of times. How nice is it to step out here and have that success right away?) – “It’s good. It’s what you expect to do at this point. I work really hard on my craft and I pride myself on working hard and knowing what to do and making the plays when they present themselves. That’s all I’m trying to do.”
