CB Charvarius Ward
Charvarius Ward is currently playing the best football of his young career. He gained some traction late in the 2018 season with the Chiefs. He almost was the hero that sent the Chiefs to the Super Bowl that season, if it wasn’t for a Dee Ford penalty, of course.
In coverage in 2019, Ward has been playing like one of the best corners in the league. He’s locating the football better and playing with better leverage in man coverage situations. Look at his performances against some of the best receivers in the league, like Stefon Diggs for instance, and you’ll notice how much he’s improved from his rookie campaign in 2018.
Ward currently leads the Chiefs defenders in both passes defended (6) and interceptions (2). His willingness to come up and support in run defense also shouldn’t go unnoticed. He’s really a great form tackler and knows how to use his length to his advantage. As of today, Ward currently leads all NFL corners in tackles with 53.
