CINCINNATI — A Bengals player not named Joe Burrow is going viral this week after news of his breakup hit the internet.

While football fans might not be too familiar with Ford's name, he has garnered nearly 500,000 followers on TikTok and more than 92,000 followers on Instagram by sharing bits of his life outside of football — specifically with Robillard, who has more than 1 million followers on TikTok.
Ford signed with the Bengals in 2023 after spending time in Buffalo and Arizona. He played in all 17 of Cincinnati's games last season, contributing on special teams and serving as a reserve. He made his lone start for the Bengals on Nov. 26 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In March, the team announced they were re-signing the 27-year-old who played college ball at Oklahoma with fellow offensive lineman Orlando Brown Jr.
