Ward is strong and can push through blockers while making it look easy. He pressures the QB well and has good instincts to disrupt running plays before they can gain any traction. Ward is a tough-nosed physical presence on the interior of the defensive line. He's a hunter on each down, as he relentlessly pursues the ball until he catches his prey. Ward's technique is superb. He uses his hands to quickly engage and shed the opposing lineman, then locate the ball. He's a bear to deal with for his opponent.
