The budding star sat out the entire preseason due to injuries. After an outstanding showcase at the combine, the undrafted free agent was snapped up by the Giants. Standing at 6'4», Ford-Wheaton showcased his elite athleticism with a swift 4.38 40-yard dash. His speed combined with his imposing stature quickly endeared him to Giants supporters. He was making significant strides in training camp until the unfortunate ACL diagnosis brought his season to a halt.
Ford-Wheaton carved a niche for himself at West Virginia University, notably with a memorable catch against Iowa State.
As the Giants bolster their arsenal for Quarterback Daniel Jones, Ford-Wheaton was perceived as the prime deep-threat addition. The young talent perfectly matched the profile of a premier wide receiver.
Hoping to make a playoff run, the Giants are armed with a potent offense and a formidable defense. Their last Super Bowl triumph was in 2012 against the New England Patriots, and since then, playoff appearances have been rare.
Losing Ford-Wheaton is undeniably a setback for the Giants. Wishing him a smooth recovery and an even stronger comeback next season.
