On Sunday, Greg Ward Jr. caught the game-winning touchdown for the Philadelphia Eagles against Washington with 26 seconds to play.
It was the final catch of a seven-reception, 61-yard game from Ward, the first touchdown and the first start of his NFL career.
If you don’t follow the Eagles or Houston Cougars football, Ward might seem like some kind of overnight success.
But he’s far from it.

Ward was a quarterback at Houston, and a pretty good one: he led the Cougars to a 38-24 upset of Florida State in the 2015 Peach Bowl, which was the capper to a 13-1 season and American Athletic Conference championship-winning season.
