Rudy Ford won the starting safety position battle with his play over the summer, and through five games, he has helped provide the Green Bay Packers with some stability at that position.

He’s very intentional with his preparation, and he’s finally gotten the opportunity to show what he can do, and he’s capitalizing on it.”
