2633870, CB Denzel Ward, Ohio State (5'10, 191) Posted by will_5198, Wed Dec-13-17 12:41 PM
he's not quite as good as his old teammate Marshon Lattimore, but better than Gareon Conley. Ohio State uses him everywhere but he'd be ideal in the slot -- his backpedal is elite. you see him mirroring routes 10 yards downfield without opening his hips, which is ridiculous. great burst and can run with most anybody.
a bit light in the ass, so not the guy you want setting the edge too often. his ball skills aren't the best either, but he'll catch the ones thrown right at him. will get into a jersey-grabbing contest downfield until he remembers he's athletic enough to cover legally.
that backpedal, though. you could tie his hands behind his back, walk him to the line, and he'd still be able to shadow his man wherever he went. the NFL covets unique traits and he's got one of them.
