Hula Bowl - O’Connell and Ford

[AZGrizFan]

Agreed he was mostly a cover guy, but he didn’t seem to shy away from contact.

I could see him starting out as being an almost ideal nickel guy. Fast enough and smart enough for combo coverages and big enough and physical enough to hang with slots and smaller "Grossman" style TE's.

Yep. And I think he’d excel on special teams.

Any way you can watch a replay of this game?

He will make it in the NFL for certain if he can be a good ST player. These NFL teams love lower round developmental kids who can learn the NFL game for their position, while contributing to the Special Teams unit.
