Sunday’s win over Washington was made possible thanks to a fourth-quarter breakout from the unlikeliest of candidates. At least, that’s what it looks like to anyone who isn’t familiar with Greg Ward Jr’s journey to the NFL.
Prior to a fourth-quarter drive where he received for 40-yards and the game-winning touchdown, the former Houston quarterback spent three years waiting for his shot.
Warf came out of college and transitioned to wide receiver, spending the next two years on the edge of making the Eagles 53-man roster. Over two preseasons with the Eagles, Ward caught 13 passes for 92 yards.
