Elks defensive back Tyrell Ford

The Edmonton Elks are 6-3 and sitting near the top of the West, but back-to-back losses to Saskatchewan and Montreal have raised questions about just how close this team is to the CFL’s elite. We sit down with defensive back Tyrell Ford to assess the Elks’ impressive first half, the identity and confidence of their defence, his breakout season in the secondary and what Edmonton learned from its toughest stretch of the schedule. Plus, Ford previews a matchup with Chad Kelly and the Toronto Argonauts and weighs in on whether the Elks have officially established themselves as a legitimate contender.
