gave back to his mom in a big way for Mother’s Day.
Ward, the Browns’ rookie cornerback and fourth overall pick in the NFL Draft, told NFL Total Access on Tuesday night he’s taken on his mom, Nicole’s, mortgage as a token of appreciation.
“I’m paying for her house so she doesn't have to worry about that anymore,” said Ward, who grew up in nearby Macedonia, which sits about 17 miles south of downtown Cleveland.
Ward lost his father, Paul Ward Jr., two springs ago and raised money at the combine this past winter for a scholarship named in his honor.
