  Draft Scout by Conference









  Former North Carolina starting defensive back D.J. Ford signed with East Carolina in December to be an impact player for the Pirates, who in return, have gladly seen him emerge as a physical and mental leader already on defense. In addition to Ford's 6-foot-3 and 208-pound frame, the safety and graduate student uses his mind and past playing experience - he was part of two bowl appearances at UNC and played in 33 total games with nine starts - in helping younger Pirates during practices with any guidance or tips he might be able to provide. "Something I pride myself on is being able to help the team in any way I can," Ford said. "I feel like the more I can help the young guys, the more I can help myself and help this team take a step forward. Things happen and sometimes when the young guys get thrown out there, they need to be ready at all times. I do my part to make sure they are ready."

Ford opted out prior to last season, which essentially opened his path to transfer to another school for his final year of eligibility. "My motivation level is definitely high," he said. "I put a lot on myself. I feel like I have a lot to prove to myself, as well as other people, and that being the people on this team, my family, my people back home. I just want to make everyone proud." The Ashland, Ala., native is a serious candidate to be a starting safety for ECU against Appalachian State on Sept. 2 in Charlotte. - Daily Reflector
