On film, Ford is a much better mover than Brown, and he definitely hits the length numbers we were worried about with Jonah Williams. But he will have to show that he can carry 330 pounds comfortably on a 6-foot-4 frame, moving with grace and body control in the drills and showing explosiveness in his jumps and 10-yard split.
