Since being drafted fourth overall out of Ohio State in 2018, Denzel Ward instantly became one of the best cornerbacks in football. Over his first seven years in the league, Ward has made four Pro Bowl appearances and been the standard when it comes to outside man coverage. He set a career-high in pass defenses last year, as he led the entire NFL with 19 balls knocked away.
Those in Cleveland and other AFC North teams are aware of Ward's dominance, but his zero All-Pro selections suggest award voters don't have him among the game's best cornerbacks.
