Soft?! I bet you haven't even seen film on the guy.
200 tackles and usually the first guy to bring the ball carrier down? That's not exactly soft.
You don't get 7 interceptions just standing still either, you have to compete from the beginning of the whistle to the end of the play.
Please dude, quit talking out of your ar$e.

Lol Jimmie Ward and soft shouldnt even be used in the same sentence. DUde throws his body around recklessly, punishing wide receivers. Awesome pick by Baalke.

These types of threada should be made into the official player pages in niner talk so Mr. Mcgib, buck and others can get credit for their analysis.

Ward measured in at 5-10 ½ inches and 197 pounds, ran the 40 yard dash in 4.45 seconds, had a 38-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 10 ½ feet.
"All these teams wanted to see how fast I was," Ward said.
Ward was eager to show them. He knew the fastest time at the combine was a 4.26 from Kent State running back Dri Archer, whom Ward had faced in a 38-24 NIU win in October.
"I covered Dri Archer," Ward said with a smile. "I just wanted to show I could run a 4.4."
Apparently he ran the 4.45 with a stress fracture in his foot. So he has to be faster than that healthy.

The kid reminds me of Earl Thomas. If he went to a bigger school he would've prob been a higher pick.
I keep seeing people mention his size as a liability. Whitner, Thomas, Polamalu, and Ed Reed are all the same height lol.

Soft as hell....where the heck did you get that from?? You do know that one of the reasons the 9ers drafted him for his tackling and hitting style, he's a very physical player, those were Baalke's words not mine. Also judging by his highlights or game play, it shows anything but soft.

Isn't Earl Thomas around that size?
