Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford showed enough as a kick returner in 2022 to give head coach Kevin Stefanski hope that he can be the backup to Nick Chubb.
‘I was very encouraged with Jerome. I know he didn’t have a ton of opportunities, but (I was) encouraged by the opportunities he had. As a kick returner, you saw some of his natural ability. You saw speed and you saw vision, and that was something he had never done. I think you see a player who has an upside. Ultimately, it is going to be on him to go earn that (No. 2 running back) role, but I do think he is capable of it, yes,’ Stefanski said recently.
