Cody Ford

Cody Ford from Oklahoma is certainly an intriguing prospect for the Carolina Panthers. Ford measures in at 6-foot-5 and weighs 335 pounds. He is a bit more polished than Little, and he has experience in blocking mobile quarterbacks. His play style would fit well with the Carolina Panthers offense.

As a scouting report for WalterFootball.com notes, little is very quick on his feet and can move around. That would definitely be beneficial for Cam Newton as he is the type of player that makes split-second decisions on his feet. Admittedly, he ran around a lot last year to avoid getting sacked. However, that could change with the drafting of Ford. He blocked for Baker Mayfield after all, another mobile quarterback. That can definitely help him get accustomed to the play style Newton brings the table.

Perhaps  he could be the best fit for the Carolina Panthers offense, and he could give Newton more freedom to run and move in and out of the pocket. His mobility is certainly an asset to his game. That alone should make the Carolina Panthers consider drafting him. He may not be your prototypical first-round pick, but he would be a great scheme fit.
