I think Shell and Ford are pretty similar in that they were always small town legends who didn't need to work at it and didnt work at it. Now, Shell is coaching girls elementary basketball and working in a metal shop and Ford is doing who knows what.Rushel Shell says, "Hi".
Don't forget Avonte MaddoxThis is funny…
He still doesn’t get it, still extremely immature. Still blames everybody else for his failures. Does he not realize 7 DB’s who have played for PN are in the NFL and 5 have started games this year…? Does he not realize the 4 main guys in the secondary besides him…Hamlin, Jackson, Pinnock & Mathis all play in the NFL?
We know many athletes are not very bright but I rarely bash Pitt guys. This guy is really dumb and has no self-awareness. He constantly blames others for his failures. Like it’s the fault of the Pitt coaches that he ran a 4.9 40, quit on his teammates, etc.
What’s funny is many know that PN & Pitt pulled tons of strings to get Ford into Pitt. They helped get his mom a job. PN never bashed the kid after he quit, on and on.
At some point you have to grow up and take responsibility for your life and failures. What he needs more than anything is for someone close to him to tell him the truth, that he’s an immature child. Hope he grows up before it’s too late, or his life could turn out really bad IMO.
Fixed it. As a fan base, we like to cry around about the local guys that don't come to Pitt but I'm not sure the talent levels are keeping up to give a true evaluation. You'd have to wonder how he would have looked covering big school WR's from Florida in HS.Because he was way better than most WPIAL kids
But he didn’t progress
He was a first team All ACC safety and I don't think he walked on campus as the top safety in the conference, so he progressed at least to a degree.Because he was way better than most hs kids

Maybe get down to 4.8 or even 4.7, but dropping 3 tenths? Extremely unlikely.
But it took him 3 years to see the field for a long stretchHe was a first team All ACC safety and I don't think he walked on campus as the top safety in the conference, so he progressed at least to a degree.
I still believe that Ford probably just has a bad 40 time and no amount of training could help it. With respect to him looking fast while playing, Ford had a good 10 yard split. Ford's 10 yard split was actually faster than Kyle Hamilton -- and that was how Hamilton supporters justified his bad 40 time (which was still over 2 tenths faster than Ford). Hamilton I think was like 75% percentile or higher for his 10 yard split, and like I said, Ford's was faster.
Right -- he progressed as a football player. Maybe not as much as what everyone thought his ceiling was, but you cannot say that he did not improve. It took some years of working in the program, outside of the limelight, to get there.But it took him 3 years to see the field for a long stretch
And it was moved from cb to safety to simplify things for him
I would say it took him 3 years to meet expectationsRight -- he progressed as a football player. Maybe not as much as what everyone thought his ceiling was, but you cannot say that he did not improve. It took some years of working in the program, outside of the limelight, to get there.
That was done for him.Lol, a DB who runs the same 40 as Manning needs to reevaluate his thoughts of ever playing in the NFL.
I’ve always found it hard to believe he was a 4.9. Like him or hate him he was all over the field for Pitt and was a heat seeking missile at that SS spot. Not sure what happened when they timed him-whether he was out of shape, unprepared, tweaked, whatever, but he had allI think so, because I don't think he played anywhere near what you would expect a 4.9 guy to play. He wasn't a burner, but his game speed was decent.
I would guess with proper training and work he could run in the 4.7 range. Still isn't fast enough to play any significant snaps in the NFL, but maybe keeps him around a few years if he embraced special teams.
I mean he didn't look like a 4.9 on the field but maybe he was just laying around doing nothing.....who knows.It’s a shame, but would work ethic have brought his 40 time up to a 4.8?
He was a stud sophomore, when he got most of his offers, but by the time he was a senior and on his third high school the bloom was off the rose. By then most of his offers probably were no longer committable. The sad late visit to Miami, where he was practically begging to be allowed to commit, was a bizarre exclamation point to the whole affair.Because he was way better than most hs kids
But he didn’t progress
Tweet is deleted and just seeing thsi now, what did it say? EDIT, nevermind saw it, breaks my heart WTF Paris?????This is funny…
