The Oakland Raiders wrapped up organized team activities last week, and second-round pick Jihad Ward was one player that stood out during the entire OTAs period.
Is Ward really worth all the hype?
Ward’s athletic numbers are nothing crazy. At the NFL Combine, he registered a25-inchh vert, and 5.11 seconds forty-yard-dash. Those are not the most explosive numbers.
After week two of OTAs, Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio said Ward impressed with his athleticism.
“He [Ward] is probably a little quicker than I anticipated,” Del Rio said via the Raiders website.
