He came up as a Guard, like many college Tackles.  Teams do what they can to get the best 5 out there.  He looked great at RT this season.  I watched some scouting film of him, absolute mauler in run game, sometimes gets two good blocks on same play, does a good job in pass pro.  One of his best qualities is not giving up on a play.  They highlighted one particular play where a speed rusher happened to get the jump on the edge:  Ford just turned, sprinted toward his QB, and knocked said speed rusher flat on his ass.
