Pro Comparison: Jordan Love

Summary

Cam Ward is an experienced college football quarterback possessing a lot of the physical traits NFL teams look for in a starter. His career had been defined by its volatility until this season, when he began to dial it back a bit more. Ward displays good pocket mobility and throws with touch and anticipation to all three levels of the field. He tends to stick on his reads, and his ball security has not yet, but could, become a problem at the next level for the natural playmaker.

About

2024: ACC Offensive Player of the Year
2024: Heisman Trophy finalist (nation's best player)
2024: Led FBS in passing touchdowns (36) and Total QBR (88.0) and ranked second in passing yards (4,123) and total offense per game (359.9)

Strengths

Pocket mobility: Ward does a good job keeping his eyes downfield despite being pressured. He is willing to take a hit in hopes of creating a dynamic play.
Ball placement and anticipation: Ward has improved his ball placement and throwing with anticipation this season.
Natural playmaker: Ward does a good job extending plays and getting the ball away from different arm slots.

Weaknesses

Ball security: Ward carries the ball out and away from his body as opposed to high and tight. He has had just one fumble this season, but NFL teams will capitalize
Volatility: He has struggled with decision-making throughout his career, specifically holding onto the ball late in the down and trying to do too much. Over the course of the season, he has improved in this arena, but there is more work to be done.
Sticky reads: Ward will occasionally get stuck on a read too long or predetermine where he is going with the football before the snap.
