Ford set to rise in year two for Browns after limited rookie year
Jerome Ford, a fifth round pick out of Cincinnati, rushed 12 yards on eight carries as a rookie with no receptions or touchdowns. He is seen as a potential No. 2 back behind Kareem Hunt, with training camp opening in West Virginia as Ford boosts reps and readiness for a larger role. Ford’s college career included 1319 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns at Cincinnati, plus kickoff return stats that ranked among league leaders. He viewed his limited attempts as expected behind Nick Chubb and Hunt, and emphasized learning and readiness for whatever role the Browns assign.
