Not sure if anyone watched, or paid attention to the practices leading up to it, but Dee Ford's draft stock is sky rocketing. One analyst there, at practice, stated that, "you have quick DEnds with a explosive first step and then you have Dee Ford beating everyone they line up in front of him." It's very possible that he'll go in the first 2 rounds, with a great showing at the Combine, he'll be Auburn's second player drafted in the 1st round this year.

The SEC & FSU must have had some all world tackles to contain him as much as they did..

All week during the practices leading up to Saturday’s Senior Bowl, NFL scouts from around the league raved about the performance of Auburn DL Dee Ford, On Saturday afternoon, Ford took things a step further by being arguably the most dominant player in the game in the South’s 20-10 win over the North team, earning him MVP honors.
In total, Ford accounted for two sacks, deflected a pass and showed his ability to chase down in the running game.
There’s no question that Ford cemented his status on Saturday as an early first round pick in this May’s NFL Draft.
And he knows that.
When asked about his outing, Ford made it very clear he’s aware that between his dominant play in 2013, this week’s practices and this game, he will be a very rich man soon.
“I made a little money,†he said.
A “little money†is a bit of an understatement after what we saw today.
Throughout the game, Ford made life for the North team a living nightmare, and there’s more of that to come for opposing NFL offenses in the near future.

If I was the OC on the North team I would've ran right at Ford. His pass rushing skills are off the charts, but his run support needs to be worked on a bit.

Loved it when he unloaded on Logan Thomas from Va Tech.
