As I expected, there will be more of a chance for him to make it in the NFL as a receiver. NFL types have their QB metrics and GW just doesn’t fit the 6-5, 230 pound dude they desire. It doesn’t mean he can’t make it as a QB; but the odds are stacked against him.
“Ward’s dual-threat skills make the Cougars’ offense a playground for coach Tom Herman, who is creative enough to get the most out of his ability.” – Chase Goodbread

“Tom Herman knows what he’s got in Ward, who is likely to put up another 2,000-yard passing, 1,000-yard rushing season for the Cougars. He’ll move to receiver in the NFL, but for now, enjoy his ability to stretch defenses with his arm and take advantage of the space with his feet.” – Chad Reuter
