TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Damian Ford had to move fast in Tuscaloosa Wednesday but it was fine by him.
For the former Stillman College wide receiver, being rushed through a series of tests and drills as an opening act before the headliners at the University of Alabama's pro day, was worth it for the opportunity to showcase some of his skills before NFL scouts.
Ford, listed at 6-foot-3, 185-pounds, arrived at the Crimson Tide's facilities and filled out some paperwork before taking the Wonderlic exam. Then, he had his measurements taken, including his height, weight, arm length and wingspan.
After that, he was whisked away for an abbreviated workout that didn't include any position specific drills. He did the broad jump, posting a leap of 9'9, the vertical jump (33.5) and bench press (he did 10 reps at 225 pounds).
Ford also did the 40-yard dash, 20 and 60-yard shuttle and L-drill (no times were available) before scouts made readied themselves to observe Alabama's players run through the full gauntlet.
