Ward also broke up 14 passes while playing for Cleveland last season (second most among all NFL rookies). 

His youth may work against him somewhat - he will need to prove himself on the field if he wants to become a long-term asset for Cleveland - but he has all the potential necessary to be an excellent player in this league Denzel Ward is a talented and promising cornerback who has shown great potential in the NFL.

Ward was one of the most highly-rated prospects in the 2018 draft, and he has already made an impact with his play on the field. He is a hard hitter who can cover receivers well in man coverage, and he also brings some versatility to the table as a returner too. 

There are some areas where Ward needs to improve (namely ball skills), but overall he is an exciting player to watch develop over time. 

The Cleveland Browns are lucky to have Denzel Ward on their roster, as he looks like he could be a long-term starter at the corner for them down the line.
