Isaiah Ford returns to Miami for, hopefully, another go-around with the Dolphins as he enters his fourth season in the NFL.
The Miami Dolphins have been on the radar this offseason, bringing in a slew of different players during free agency. But one familiar face rejoined the team again for another shot.
Wide receiver Isaiah Ford has been on a constant move during his short three-year career, all revolving around Miami. After dealing with some drama and being traded new a division foe, and then even being brought back after the Dolphins’ front office evaluated his play, Ford will be back in the orange and team for the 2021 season.
Elusive First Touchdown Still Escapes Isaiah Ford
Ford has not been one to make huge plays, in fact, he has not reached the end zone at all in his professional career. He has been used as a “move the chains” type of player in his 19 career NFL games played. Across those games, he has caught a total of 51 passes for 520 yards.
In his first season with the team, he saw action in only one game where he did not have any catches and he was only targeted on one play.
In 2019, Ford caught 23-of-35 passes in eight games (zero starts) for 244 yards.
In 2020, he made his first start with Miami and appeared in 10 games. He caught 28-of-44 passes for 276 yards. Ford is known to be able to find spaces against zone coverage, but the only thing that is holding him back is his athleticism, forcing him lower on the receiving depth chart.

Ford was drafted by the Dolphins back in 2018, but not utilized that much compared to other receivers on his team. After a few seasons, he was traded to the New England Patriots at the trade deadline a dud of a seventh-round NFL draft pick. That came because the Dolphins did not see him as a long-term contributor.

by Full Press Coverage on January 21, 2023 at 12:19 pm
Before that season was over, however, the Patriots ended up cutting Ford without him appearing in a game for them. Miami re-signed him and got its pick back due to the language of the trade deal. Despite the crowded WR room that now features first-round rookie Jaylen Waddle and veteran free-agent signee Will Fuller, Ford is getting another chance to prove himself to a team that was not far off from securing a playoff spot during the 2020 season.
Ford is another face for opponents to worry about when it comes to facing the Dolphins, solely because of his play in the middle of the field. But he may continue to be an insignificant role player depending on how the 53-man roster kicks out. It is also possible he ends up back on the Dolphins practice squad as he is competing with 12 other WRs for a spot on the active roster.
As the regular season gets closer, look for FPC Dolphins’ updated depth chart.
