Dee Ford compared to Von Miller, Derrick Thomas
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap200...derrick-thomas

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos...Shawn-Merriman

General manager John Dorsey recently explained that Dee Ford was selected at No. 23 overall because the Auburn star was the best player left on the Kansas City Chiefs' board and the second-best pass rusher in the draft.

Coach Andy Reid has praised Ford's quickness and athletic ability while rating the outside linebacker's intangibles as "off the charts."

On a more impressive note, Ford's explosive first step has already drawn comparisons to Chiefs Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas and Broncos All-Pro Von Miller.

"If anybody reminds you of Derrick Thomas, that kid should pretty much remind you of Derrick Thomas with his first step," Pro Bowl linebacker Tamba Hali said last week, per The Huntsville Times. "He gets off the ball so fast it's scary. I just kept rewinding (the video) yesterday just looking at his first step. I don't know if he times it, but his first step is incredible."

New teammate Joe Mays, who played with Miller in Denver, sees similar traits in Ford.

"That guys is explosive. He's quick off the ball," Mays said Tuesday, per the Chiefs' official website. "He kind of reminds me of Von Miller with the way that he gets off the ball and gets around the offensive linemen. He's a freak. He knows how to work angles and uses his hands real well. He can bend and do all types of stuff you don't see in the everyday pass rushers. Definitely 'as-advertised'."

The quotes coming out of Kansas City suggest Ford should have been a top-10 draft pick last month.

As much talent as Ford boasts, it's going to be tough for him to challenge for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award while fighting for snaps behind Hali and Justin Houston.

With Hali carrying a prohibitive $12 million salary cap figure in 2015, though, Ford should be a prime "Making the Leap" candidate at this point next offseason.

DT's arm length I believe was 35 1/8 - hard to find a confirmed measure

For the record, I dont think Ford's arm length is going to be the determining reason as to whether or not he's a boom or bust.

I still think Ford is more Dwight Freeney than DT.

Absolutely! It should make a difference.

Some people might not think that it makes much of a difference but it really does. Part of the reason why I didn't rate Ford as a top 25 player in the draft was because of that lack of arm length. He's going to have to play with perfect technique and have the best snap anticipation in the NFL if he's going to win against OTs who average over 34" in arm length.
An inch per arm, together that's two inches in bodily reach overall.

Yeah, that's it.

OR, we've seen the exact same fail for 20 years and 1 more run through isn't going to change a ****ing thing.

It's another year us old ****s get older and have to wait for 3 COMPLETE YEARS of fail before a change is made...

If you are that gilted why keep coming back. That would be like an abused wife going back time after time after getting the shit beat out of them.

If a fan can't be positive or happy about anything what is the ****ing point? Just so a fan can spew negative shit. Why have negativity in your life much less let it consume you?
