Professional career
Dallas Cowboys
Ward was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys after the 2018 NFL Draft on April 30, because of his strong pro day workout and his size for the cornerback position.[1] On August 30, with the Cowboys having problems with their offensive line depth, Ward was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for offensive guard Parker Ehinger.[2]
