Despite Ward's challenging rookie season where he ranked poorly in several passing categories, Daboll sees the young quarterback's athletic ability and improvisational skills as major strengths. 'He's a young, athletic quarterback who has accuracy. He can make plays on the move,' Daboll stated, emphasizing his comfort with Ward's unconventional mechanics.
Daboll, who successfully developed Josh Allen in Buffalo, has studied Ward's tape dating back to his college years and is eager to begin working with him. 'April can't come soon enough,' he said, indicating his readiness to install offensive schemes that will leverage Ward's strengths while addressing areas that need improvement.
