Dee Ford impresses at Pro Day after missing combine workout with medical issue
Former Auburn pass rusher Dee Ford made headlines at the NFL Scouting Combine when he said he's better than potential No. 1 overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney, but he didn't get the chance to back up his words with a strong performance on the field because he didn't receive medical clearance from combine doctors.
Ford made up for lost time at his Pro Day Tuesday.

Pro Day numbers are almost always better than combine numbers, but one can't deny that Ford's performance is impressive. Assuming he receives medical clearance from NFL team doctors, he could find his name called in the first round of May's draft.
