Cody Ford


Cody Ford is an American football offensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. He played college football at Oklahoma.

College career

During his recruitment process, Ford originally committed to TCU before flipping to the Oklahoma Sooners. After redshirting for the 2015 season, Ford started the first 3 games of 2016 for Oklahoma before suffering a broken fibula against Ohio State and missing the rest of the season. During the 2018 season, Ford was named a third-team All American as part of an offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award. Following this season, Ford announced that he would be declaring for the 2019 NFL Draft. When he declared, Ford was ranked as the number 3 guard available.

Professional career

Ford was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the second round, 38th overall, of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Ford alternated between playing at guard and tackle during his rookie year, but saw more time at tackle after starter Ty Nsekhe suffered an ankle injury. During Buffalo's wild card playoff game against the Houston Texans, Ford was called for an illegal blindside block as the Bills were driving into field goal range in overtime. The penalty played a part in Buffalo losing the game and has been seen as controversial. After Ford was later fined $28,075 by the league for the block, numerous Bills fans donated on GoFundMe in an attempt to help Ford cover the costs.
