Berea, Ohio - On June 4, 2025, Jerome Ford, the Cleveland Browns' veteran running back, participated in a workout session with the New York Jets ahead of their Week 1 game against the Tennessee Titans. NFL Insider Aaron Wilson reported on X that the Jets brought in Ford for the workout. Ford, who will be 27 years old at the beginning of the 2026 season, entered the NFL as the 156th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2022 draft.

During his four-year NFL career, Ford has played in 57 games, starting 18, and has amassed 340 rushing attempts for 1,463 yards, averaging 4.3 yards per carry. His passing abilities have also contributed to the team, as he has been targeted 138 times as a receiver, catching 107 passes for 647 yards. Ford has scored a total of 12 touchdowns throughout his NFL tenure.

After spending the first four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, Ford signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders before becoming an unrestricted free agent. Head coach Aaron Glenn expressed confidence that his injured running backs, Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis, will be ready for the Week 1 matchup. The Jets, in preparation for any potential setbacks, have been conducting workouts with available running backs, including Ford, as the situation evolves.
