IPS Take On Caden Fordham- Fordham is a converted safety who is comfortable playing around the line of scrimmage and in space. He is strong in coverage, instinctual defending the run, and extremely good with his hands when shedding blocks in order to make tackles. Fordham has been a jack of all trades in high school and brings above average athleticism to the linebacker position.
