Jerome Ford Could Become No. 2 Option
2 years agoCleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford might get a chance at becoming the No. 2 option next season. Head coach Kevin Stefanski recently said he's very encouraged by Ford and believes he's capable of being the backup to Nick Chubb. The Browns enter the offseason with Kareem Hunt and D'Ernest Johnson both heading to free agency. That being said, Cleveland might decide to give Ford a legit chance to earn the backup role to Chubb. It's certainly possible that the Browns still draft a running back or get a veteran to compete with Ford. However, the former fifth-round pick could see his fantasy value on the rise, assuming he wins the backup role to Chubb.
