Ward (5-foot-10 3/4, 193) was a third-team All-American in 2013, finishing his career with 11 interceptions, four forced fumbles and four blocked punts.
He started at corner as a sophomore, and safety as a junior in senior, but still covered the slot in passing situations.
Ward ran 4.47 at the Huskies' Pro Day, adding a 38-inch vertical and 10-foot-5 broad jump.
Built identically to Patriots FS Devin McCourty (5'11/193), Ward has also drawn Kenny Vaccaro comparisons for his versatility and man-cover skills, and is arguably a better tackler than both of them.
Recovering from foot surgery, Ward is expected to be ready for training camp.

I think this guy would have been available with our 3rd round pick.

Nope. Most had him slated to go late 1st-early 2nd.
