RB Jonathan "Rudy" Ford is moving to CB...

He asked the staff for the move, since he's 6th on the RB Depth Chart, plus CB Jonathan Jones is out with some unknown surgery that'll probably keep him out for the season.

Thought I read Jones broke a bone in his foot slipping on wet steps.

This move could mean a better future (long term) for him plus we will get to witness that speed.
IMO it's not a waste for speedy guys like Grant or even Marshall to have that experience and OMac is a good example. Darron Thomas could even be another if the QB had prepared for a time as a corner instead of just getting a look as a WR with a couple of NFL teams. At 6'3" 215, he might be making five times what he is currently earning in Canada as a QB.

To me, putting an ego aside is a sign of maturity. Kudos to Rudy and his future.

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.

One more thing on Jonathan Ford, he also played CB in HS and a lot of teams were recruiting him as such, including UGA.
