It was a quiet offseason for the 49ers when it comes to additions. The prized free agent was Charvarius Ward, who was mostly known as the player who did Ja’Marr Chase’s touchdown dance, only to give up a deep pass to Chase a few plays later.
Ward, who just turned 26, has two seasons under his belt where he allowed under a 45% completion percentage. Not a lot of cornerbacks can say that. And it’s not as if Ward isn’t targeted often. In each of those seasons, Ward was targeted 80 and 67 times. Furthermore, he’s the cornerback the Chiefs used to shadow opposing No.
