Weight: 223
Age: 22
Strengths
A dynamic playmaker, Ward is must-see TV when the ball is in his hands. He’s got impressive arm strength, and he throws like he knows it. He takes chances most other QBs can’t, but they pay off too often for anyone to tell him to do otherwise. He’s a wizard when the pocket breaks down, extending plays and creating extra time for his receivers to create big plays downfield. He’s athletic enough to keep defenses honest with his running ability, making him able to pick up key first downs and escape blitzes. Ward’s ability to make big plays in clutch moments sets him apart when the game is on the line.
Weaknesses
Ward’s confidence can backfire at times, as his mind writes checks that his arm can’t cash. Those risky decisions can lead to head-scratching turnovers, and the windows will only get tighter at the next level. His lower-body mechanics could use some smoothing out, as they can impact his accuracy when they’re not consistent. While he’s an adequate athlete in short areas, he doesn’t have the elite speed to beat back-seven defenders to the edge and turn the corner.

Final Analysis
From recruiting afterthought to Heisman Trophy candidate, Ward has put up huge numbers at every stop, proving his video-game production at Incarnate Word was no fluke. Some areas of his skill set still need some polish, but he’s got playmaking instincts, throwing ability, and intangible traits you just can’t teach. It might take a little patience, but he’s got superstar upside in the right situation.
