Any doubts that Ward would be an effective NFL quarterback are gradually being put to rest. Although the numbers haven’t been earth-shattering, he has shown the ability to extend plays and make good things happen. His first touchdown pass was an excellent example.
Ward scrambled 36 yards before finding Elic Ayomanor for the score. Coach Brian Callahan has been most impressed by the mental aspect of Ward ‘s game. Callahan said the rookie has handled the operational part of the job, from getting in and out of the huddle to changing protection and routes.
Ward’s volume of passes will increase as the season goes on and Callahan expands his role. -- Turron Davenport
