Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Cody Ford is a relative unknown in the NFL world.
Ford was a second-round draft pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2019. He played 38 games with Buffalo, most of them as starts, in his rookie season, but lost his starting spot due to injury and subsequently left the team. He played one season with the Arizona Cardinals in 2022 and joined the Bengals in 2023, but started just one of the 17 games he appeared in.

“I went through my messages and found the information I needed. He had given people our home address while he was in Cincinnati for OTAs,” Robillard said.
“We had been in a long distance relationship for a few months and this happened two days before he was due to fly home (from an OTA while living in Dallas), so I investigated further and got all the receipts and information I needed,” she said.
Robillard suggested he was surprised by some of the messages.
“The words that came out of his mouth were words I’d never heard before. I’d never processed them myself,” she said. “It was so shocking. I was like, ‘Who are you?’ I felt like my world was fake.”
Robillard also allegedly said Ford cheated on her six months into their relationship.
“I left everything behind and now I have to rebuild everything,” she said.
