In a Fanatics View exclusive we sat down with former Indianapolis Colts Defensive Lineman (more currently a member of the Baltimore Ravens) Jihad Ward.

Drafted in the 2nd round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Ward has had his fair share of league experience along with developing an understanding for how to adjust to football life after injuries. The 6’5” 290lb edge-rusher commented on topics ranging from growing up in Philadelphia, PA and feeling “cut different” because of it, the struggles during his JUCO years, happiness in life, and much more.
