RENTON — It was a good job by Seahawks scouts, coach Pete Carroll says, that they were able to set “their sights’’ on Poona Ford from the beginning of his college career at Texas, which led to his signing with Seattle in the spring of 2018 as an undrafted free agent.
Carroll said it in all seriousness.
But some might joke that it was getting an eye on Ford that has been the problem for so many football observers during his career.
At just 5-11, Ford is three inches shorter than any other defensive lineman on the Seattle roster and taller than only five other players of any type — all either kickers, running backs or receivers.
