PFF's top 25 NFL players under 25 for 2019

CB DENZEL WARD, CLEVELAND BROWNS
Age at kickoff: 22 years, 4 months, 9 days
Injuries took their toll on Ward towards the end of his rookie season, but his early-season play is yet another great sign for the future of Cleveland. In his 13 games, Ward allowed a passer rating of just 70.7 on throws into his coverage, and he yielded an average of 0.88 yards per coverage snap – both of which ranked fourth among first-year cornerbacks.

DENZEL WARD HONORING LATE FATHER, RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT HEART HEALTH, GIVING BACK TO COMMUNITY THROUGH “MAKE THEM KNOW YOUR NAME” FOUNDATION

104689_h.JPG


When Denzel Ward was growing up, his father Paul had a simple directive for Denzel and his older brother, P.J.: Make them know your name in a positive way.

As the former Ohio State cornerback enters his second season with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, Denzel Ward is doing his part both on and off the field to make that reality.

Ward, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, is coming off an excellent rookie season with the Browns in which he immediately became their top cornerback and was selected to play in the Pro Bowl. Away from the football field, Ward is working to raise awareness about heart health and give back to the community where he grew up – all in his late father’s honor.

Paul Ward, who was the principal at Carylwood Intermediate School in Bedford, Ohio, died on May 2, 2016 – following Denzel’s freshman year at Ohio State – when he suffered sudden cardiac arrest while participating in a spin class.

While there was an automated external defibrillator (AED) at the gym where Paul Ward collapsed, no one used it, so one of the main objectives for Denzel and his family through their new foundation – the Make Them Know Your Name foundation – is to educate people about how to use a defibrillator and how to perform CPR in order to help prevent future deaths by cardiac arrest.

“People might be intimidated by it, and not understand that it’s really as simple as pressing a button and it walks you right through the process,” said Nicole Ward, Denzel’s mother and the executive director of her son’s foundation.

The foundation’s website includes information about how to perform life-saving measures in the event of a cardiac arrest, and the Wards are also raising money to purchase CPR and AED kits for local schools that might not be able to afford them.

6. DENZEL WARD, 2017
After playing in the slot with one of the greatest secondaries in program history, Denzel Ward earned his chance to shine on the outside his junior year. Ward did not disappoint, breaking up 15 passes and locking up half of the field.



Denzel Ward was a consensus All-American in 2017 and the fourth overall pick in the 2018 draft.

SKULL SESSION: COREY DENNIS AND KEENAN BAILEY ARE 30 UNDER 30, DENZEL WARD SHINED ON THURSDAY NIGHT, AND THE PAC-12 IS ON THE VERGE OF A RETURN

DENZEL WARD, HAVE A DAY. Given that they arrived in Columbus in the same recruiting class and spent almost their entire Buckeye careers together, you have to figure Denzel Ward and Joe Burrow are extremely familiar with each other.

And Burrow probably wishes he never has to see him again.



Burrow still completed 60 percent of his throws for 316 yards and three touchdowns – a hell of a game for a rookie on a... rebuilding team. But Ward was the clear winner on Thursday, and probably the best player on the field.
