AEDB News: The Word on Ward

The 2025 season is here. Time to strap it on. 8 months ago you were wrapped on last season. You made certain promises to yourself about this very season you are about to take on right now. Are you going to make good on those promises?

To do that you will have to do the hard work. The hard work is doing the daily things you know you need to do to accomplish the goals you set when the final whistle was blown on 2024.

Have you armed yourself with enough knowledge? Knowledge is where it starts. First you must learn what to do, then you do it. The truth of the matter is that you can never have enough knowledge but pursuing it is where the growth occurs in your performance.

Today’s clip features Browns CB Denzel Ward locking up teammate Jerry Jeudy in 1-on-1s.
