On the first day of the Eagles’ minicamp last month, Greg Ward Jr. was one of the last players off the field. He huddled with his new position group after practice, lingered for a moment, chatted with new teammates.
He was often one of the last to leave at the University of Houston, too, but not for the same reason. That was because he knew the day would come for him, one of the top college quarterbacks in the country the past two years, to move to wide receiver.
“I had a pretty good clue,” Ward said.
