Highlights from Colts new CB Charvarius Ward's free agency press conference
New Indianapolis Colts' cornerback Charvarius Ward met with the media on Thursday after signing as a free agent.
Here are the highlights and what you need to know from the conversation.
- "Young team and I feel like they were the most aggressive team," says Ward on why he signed with the Colts. "I think they wanted me more than anybody."
- Why were the Colts aggressive in pursuing Ward? "Because I'm a great player." Can you break down why you're a great player? "I can press, I can tackle, I can play off. I can travel with the best receivers. I feel like I can do it all as a corner. My game is versatile, and I just feel like I'm CB1, a great cornerback."
- "I think I can fit in any scheme," said Ward about playing in Lou Anarumo's defense. Ward adds that Anarumo told him he's going to let him travel with the best receivers, press, and be physical.
- Championship experience and playoff experience are two things Ward says he brings to the team from a leadership perspective. He says he leads by example.
- Ward says that every time he lines up, he does so with the mentality that he's better than the receiver across from him. That confidence comes from the work and preparation Ward puts in.
- "We going to have a playmaking secondary," said Ward. He notes that both Kenny Moore and Cam Bynum are both ballhawk. "Hopefully we can force a lot of turnovers and be one of the best secondaries in the league."
