Despite early speculation he’d miss all of 2021, 49ers EDGE Dee Ford is back and seems to be making a serious impact in training camp, which is very good.
Imagine saying this three or four months ago: San Francisco 49ers EDGE Dee Ford will be one of the team’s top defensive standouts in training camp.
Ford, who appeared in just 11 games and 22 percent of defensive snaps in 2019 before missing all but one game in 2020, thanks to a serious back injury, wasn’t projected to even see the field for the beginning of 2021 in light of what looked to be a lengthy recovery that was endangering his football career.
