Denzel Ward hopes to follow buddy Marshon Lattimore's blueprint

To say that Marshon Lattimore and Denzel Ward have a unique relationship might be a bit of an understatement.

"That’s my son right there," Lattimore said recently. "That’s my boy."

No paternity tests needed, mind you. Lattimore is 22, Ward is 21. The two simply have a bond that goes back to The Ohio State University, where Ward, Lattimore and Gareon Conley formed a cornerback hydra that resulted in all being taken in the first round of the NFL draft -- Lattimore by New Orleans and Conley by the Raiders a year ago, Ward fourth overall by the Browns in April.
