If he would've gone to the NFL, he would've been in one of the weakest QB draft classes of all time
Heath Shuler and Trent Dilfer went in the first round. That's it The next QB didn't get drafted until the 4th round and the best QB from that class was Gus Frerotte who got picked in the 7th round.
So if Ward came out he would've got drafted by Washington, or Tampa Bay. He wouldn't have succeeded with those franchises. And I think he knew that. Basketball....... it's not much to brag about
and I'm a Knicks fan.
