Ford has been surprisingly pretty bad in the NFL, especially in pass protection.
Sacks and total pressures by year:
2019 (423 pass block snaps) - 7 sacks, 31 total pressures
2020 (248 PB snaps) - 0 sacks, 15 total pressures
2021 (323 PB snaps) - 2 sacks, 26 total pressures
2022 (242 PB snaps) - 3 sacks, 20 total pressures
--------------------------------------------------------------
Total (1236 PB snaps) - 12 sacks, 92 total pressures

That's just around (maybe a bit under) 2 full seasons worth of PB snaps.
Jonah, for example, had 724 PB snaps just this past regular season alone.
So you're looking at an average of ~6 sacks and ~45 pressures allowed in a full season.


Compare that to Volson, who allowed 5 sacks and 38 total pressures in regular season last year.
Volson would (and should) likely get the nod over Ford, and Ford wouldn't instill that much confidence.

Now Dalton Risner, on the other hand, would be more interesting.
He is an upgrade in pass protection, and I believe he's still available.
