The Giants announced that they were placing the former Mountaineer on Injured Reserve on August 27. He will miss the entire 2023 season.
Ford-Wheaton was signed by New York as an undrafted free agent during draft week. The hope was he could at least find a role on special teams and that would help him see the field this season.
Ford-Wheaton spent four seasons at WVU under head coach Neal Brown. The 6-foot-4 athlete recorded 1,867 receiving yards, recording 15 touchdowns in a span of 38 career games for the Mountaineers. Ford-Wheaton completed his senior season with 62 completions and 675 yards. In 2022, Ford-Wheaton was second in the Big 12 in receiving touchdowns with seven. Despite his impressive testing numbers at the NFL Combine, especially his time in the 40-yard dash, the WVU wide receiver product was not drafted.
