Charvarius Ward is playing his best football

It’s been a long journey for Ward considering some were calling for him to be cut or benched at the beginning of the season. He’s been playing some great football as the season has progressed. Ward is tied for first for interceptions with Mathieu along with having a forced fumble and six pass deflections on the season.

The biggest improvement Ward has made this season is his ability to make plays on the ball, which can be credited to the defensive staff making time for Ward to work one-on-one on his ball skills. It’s clear that Ward has benefited from the extra work, and if he continues to play at this level, he could be a surprise Pro Bowl pick.

If he continues to play well, the Chiefs can have a reliable secondary in the future with Fenton looking to be a great addition along with the solid play from Mathieu and Juan Thornhill.
