Did Jonathan Ford Do Enough?

The Packers have a clear top-five defensive linemen that they really like and feel could give them a good rotation this season. That grouping includes Kenny Clark, TJ Slaton, Devonte Wyatt, Colby Wooden and Karl Brooks.

That might leave Jonathan Ford on the outside looking in despite having a terrific training camp and preseason. Ford clearly proved himself worthy of a roster spot somewhere. He was a capable big man in the middle of the Packers’ line, eating up offensive linemen and shedding blocks when necessary.

However, the Packers might be comfortable with their line and opt to use the roster spot at other positions.
