It will be months before the major questions surrounding the Chiefs’ 2014 first-round pick, Dee Ford, will be answered.
But it’s important to remember, even now, that those questions are a two-way street. While the Chiefs will be looking to see improvement from him as a run defender, for instance, it’s up to defensive coordinator Bob Sutton to find more creative ways to get Ford on the field, even with two Pro Bowlers — Tamba Hali and Justin Houston — ahead of him on the depth chart.
Ford made it clear to reporters last week that’s he’s confident he’s taking care of his end of the bargain.
