Pitt standout safety Paris Ford recently quit the football team, deciding to effectively end his career as a Panther. On Thursday, he made a formal announcement via his Twitter account that he would be declaring for the NFL Draft.
This year, Ford had been one of the Panthers’ many playmakers on defense. The case can be made that he was Pitt’s best player and he was an undeniable difference maker.
That Ford is heading to the Draft, of course, is no surprise. While current projections vary, he is certainly expected to be drafted and, potentially, quite high.
