The Carolina Panthers may not realize just yet what a hidden talent they have stumbled on when they signed Stanford FB Lee Ward as an undrafted free agent.
Ward is physically the strongest fullback in the country. Literally! At the combine, he did more reps of 225-pound weights than any other fullback (he completed 35 reps, which also put him toward the top of the combine for any position).
Summing up Ward's combine experience, TonyFernandesSports of Rule of Tree wrote:
"Several scouts described Ward as a "cannonball" that once in motion, can create some serious damage.
