Another article on Poona snub with some interesting stats

[echeese]

Well done article on Poona being snubbed, granted that is not news.

What is news is that he received the #18 grade in the nation for all defensive players, Poona was REALLY good.

In 2017 as a senior, Ford racked up 22 solo tackles, eight tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one pass breakup, several quarterback hurries that are evident on his tape and a blocked field goal. He did all of this playing predominantly as a nose tackle on a three-man line, soaking up double-team after double-team at 5'11" and around 300 pounds. This after posting 42 solo tackles in 2016 and amassing 2.5 sacks in 2015 when he wasn't even a starter yet.

Why wouldn't a player with Ford's pedigree merit a combine invite? Height might be the main reason.

Somebody is going to get a very good player in the later rounds. Good luck to the young man. Did everything you could ask of him and did it the right way.
