DSwagS115 yes and I’m very confused as to why this kid was ever a practice squad player . . . I mean he’s a QB/WR Hybrid that can play ball I’m sure any team in the NFL could use that for something
I almost get chills watching this cause he was my quarterback at stewart middle school and john tyler, we were one game away from state in 2012 and we lost 52-49 we are both gonna go pro, wishing I was playing in houston dude is cold blooded!
This are they guys that work the hardest the ones that dont get handouts they wanted more I'm glad hes getting an opportunity and we are lucky to have him!!
It's not that, I don't think. The 1st stringers have been paid a lot of money and so the team is going to use them as opposed to using WRs that can actually make the plays. That's just how it is. Smh
Doug Pederson. Please watch this video before the Dallas game this Sunday. You are underutilizing this talent. Greg Ward Jr is the secret weapon we need to win! Go Eagles!!
@@dyroestube2004 exactly! We have weapons but they are overlooked because they aren't the "popular" choice at the time. But what's great is, with all of our injuries, it should force us to think differently. I'm gonna post a video about this sometime within the next 24 hours. Stop by the channel and give your input. Seems like we're on the same page. Go Birds!!
@@kidphillyorg its not that "they're the popular choice), the eagles are paying other dudes (Alshon & Agholor) a whole lot of money to actually play. But now that they're hurt, he's the guy! The ones who invested their money in those dudes don't want to see them sitting on the sidelines. So I understand that.
I'm a Louisville Cardinal fan, and I can say that this guy was the best quarterback we played all season. (including Deshaun Watson) This guy deserves a lot more recognition than he's getting. I wish the Heisman trophy was based on talent rather than hype, because he deserves to be on that list.
They have changed the way they vote for the Heisman since the 1980's and 1990's. For example, Andre Ware would not win the Heisman now because his team wasn't a national title contender. Now, it's seems very unlikely that a player outside of the "Power 5" conferences will get any serious consideration for the Heisman unless an extremely special player comes along. Perhaps Ward, Jr can be that player!
I actually drove 14hrs str8 from Houston and went to that game. While I was in the stands, a Louisville fan tapped me on the shoulder and said "That quarterback of yours, he's pretty good...". That sportmanship and the competitive back n forth game it was that day made the trip worth every minute. Ya'll have an impressive city and stadium and I don't plan for that to be my last trip.
therealistone Thank you! I'm glad to hear you had a good time. That was a great game, and I'm looking forward to more in the future. Good luck to you guys next season!
The Philadelphia Eagles Future is looking Great. Out with the old and in with the new. Carson Wentz, Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Dallas Goedert, JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Greg Ward Jr. Howie knows what we need and he is quietly putting the Philadelphia Eagles back into the Spotlight. Mark my words...🤗 Fly Eagles Fly
6:26 for anyone saying Ward doesn't have the shiftiness of Lamar Jackson, this guy was putting up the same/better stats than Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson during his career at UofH. edit: just want to point out that the Temple team we were playing the AAC CCG was one of the top 10 defenses in college football at the time, beating Penn State that year.
I've followed Greg since his UH days when I was attending from 2010-14, there was still a bias on dual-threat QBs that weren't tall enough. I love my school, but if Greg was in a P5 program like a Big 12 or SEC school he would have had much more draft potential. So happy for the guy right now though.
Eagles fan here. I LOVE Greg Ward who is our most reliable possession receiver. He never gets the acclaim or respect he deserves but he just keeps making plays!
OMG, Why did the Eagles hide Greg Ward Jr till now? I can't believe they have him on the team. Amazing talent this young man has. I'm blown away by his performance. The Eagles are so lucky to have him.
Im glad hes a WR for my eagles but if he was a couple years later after lamar jackson the league would be more accepting of he multi threat ability from QB. Before lamar there wasnt much love for these kinda kids. Now Baltimore changed their whole team for this style. Still glad to see him having success in the NFL and could possibly be WR #1 for a playoff team 🔥
Tell that to all of us UH fans that have been saying the same thing hahaha. Perfectly said though, the league is going to become more and more accepting of dual-threat QBs going forward. I have heard rumors that there may be an OC change for the Eagles? I know Doug likes to be creative on offense, would be awesome to see Ward for his QB abilities.
What drives me crazy after watching this is remembering what this team lost because Tom Herman was too busy leveraging offers for more money when he leaves at the end of the season, instead of focusing on his team and their goals. This team should have been the first G5 team to make it to the playoffs and that was largely possible because Greg Ward Jr was the best playmaker at that time in college football. He beat Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson, and even Patrick Mahomes in high school. Unfortunately his unbelievable athleticism hasn’t been on display enough because experts think he’s too small.
alexreising85 not a lot of guys are very good at the pro level, let alone from the same school. And it's your fault that you don't know who the Heisman Andre Ware is.
If he wants to play QB at the next level he has to gain weight and extremely improve his passing and mechanics I can't wait to see him this season coming
Still my favorite Houston QB since getting to UH at the end of the Keenum era in 2010; if he had been in the draft the year after Lamar, I think he would have had some offers to be a QB...hope Philly or some other team at least gives him a shot at it even though he's doing great as a slot receiver.
Great elusiveness and speed here. Have not seen any of those things in the NFL. Plays like a run of the mill undersized slot guy with good hands. But I have never seen him to anything after the catch with the ball for the Eagles
he is 5'10 180lbs, if you were expecting him to get any draft hype you don't know how the system works..that doesn't take away from what he did in college ...same with boykins and vernon adams
@@ryansaunders65 I think Ward is better just an opinion since he did lead us into the top 20 every year and even got us ranked 6th in the nation for a point in time in 2015 but King got hurt his 1st year, barely cracked the top 25 his 2nd year, and didn't make the top 25 year 3 King is a better player overall but Ward is a better leader
He could have and even better chance if they were in a better league I mean AAC is really temple Houston Memphis navy I mean yeah you could say east Carolina I mean usc is decent along with the huskies and the bear cats but the main competition in the AAC is temple, Memphis, and Houston
How Allen Iverson was called the "Answer," this dude should have been called the "Exception!" He was other worldly in college. WOW!!! And can we please acknowledge his receiving crew, good Lord!
People talk about how Jalen Hurts is a winner while GW:JR showed that an more and went undrafted. They turned him into the the Underdog and he landed as an Eagle. Now, finally, getting the chance to start.
And if you look up John Tyler vs. Whitehouse 2012, you'll find Ward vs. Pat Mahomes from Texas Tech and should be Heisman contender battling in a great high school district game in Tyler, Texas. JT moved down due to enrollment and got in a district with Whitehouse. Great game, 2 great teams and a stadium full of East Texas high school fans. Whitehouse jumped out early but JT came back in the 4th to take it.
I think the NFL will try to start more dual-threat QBs, either as a role they play intermittently(Taysom Hill) or as full-on positions. I've followed Ward since he started at UH in 2014, if someone were to pick him up, or if the Eagle's give him a shot at QB I know he'll succeed. Dude is all heart. He may actually need to lose a little weight to get back to his college weight so he can be as shifty as he was and burst from a cut to a sprint like he used to.
MrSPIDEY21 good point but he's still smaller than all of those guys, I feel the nfl execs will make him a slot receiver. But I would love to see if he do this at the next level.
No where near the arm strength, speed, or even game breaking ability...great qb tho...but he really doesn't break huge runs...reminds me of a more skilled pocket pat white...not even pat whites running ability
Lol but don't ever say prime Vick...he was the fastest in the league...breaking 70 yard runs and had the strongest arm...I've never seen Vick caught from behind or rarely an angle he didn't beat...this dude is no where near Vick let alone prime Vick lol
Don't ever say? Kid I can say what I want as it's MY OPINION, get out of here with your lectures. and did you just say Vick has never been caught from behind or on an angle? LOL you don't watch much football, I can't believe I'm really about to entertain your nonsense.
@@Antisatan7771 Because he's a black QB that didn't fit the "type" of player. They are so quick to put the black QB at WR, CB, or somewhere other then their natural positions.
Ryan Jacobs it’s not cause he’s black it’s because he’s a mainly mobile qb who was considered a heavy risk based on the fact that he might not last like what happened to RGIII. That’s also why Lamar fell so deep and considering the fact that Greg ward had more rushing touchdowns than passing makes teams look at him as less of a qb and more of an athlete. It had nothing to do with race but with the questioning of his ability to last considering teams like to draft their franchise guy, and by having such an injury risk it’s impossible to be that guy
I don't get how people are just not figuring out about this guy I remember him and Lamar Jackson had one of the most hyped football games in college in a while he took down number five ranked Louisville and Oklahoma
He was a couple years too early, still not sure he has a shot though as a die-hard Greg Ward/UofH fan I'd love to see it. Reason being is he doesn't have the height; he's 5'10. Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson are 6'2, Cam Newton at 6'5. He was a great play-caller and his ability to scramble and make a play out of nothing or make a big play out of a designed run was great but the Eagles are doing exactly what our coaching staff did wrong; beef him up to prevent the risk of injury. Dude can be back in his old form if they let him play like he used to.
He needs his senior year. If he goes off like he's expected to this year, he can go from a 6th round pick, to a 3rd or 4th. He was good last year. But now he has to be great.
He should play in the CFL he could play his natural position he is not a QB. He could be a legend in the cfl and come back to the NFL in a year or so and be a starter for a good team all the HOF players did that Steve Young Jim Kelly Warren Moon and the list goes on he is not getting no pt with the Eagles.
Come on Ward we need you to wake up my man i haven't seen you break a tackle yet it's like im watching a whole different player. I know that you switched positions but you're not showing separation you have the speed, hands and shiftiness, im dying to see you become this player in this video my goodness, HOF. By the way i think you should've stuck with playing quarterback this video is just ridiculous.
@@phillynation176 > Not in that era his size was a problem for the NFL if he would've came last year or this year we're talking about a top 3 pick, smaller quarterbacks are popular now ?? He still was a better QB in my opinion and should've stuck to with it never allow anyone or anything stop you regardless.
@Mike Conville > Why should i feel stupid he's on my team dummy and im a big fan as you can see by my comment. Go troll someone else i bet you don't even know who Ward is you're just a fake fan with no knowledge of the sport, those are the worse type of fans. Where were y'all comments on this kid before his TD catch lol nothing but frontrunners and trolls.
I know everybody is going to be mad at me, but I 'm not trying to troll anyone. I don't think Greg Ward Jr is a very good quarterback, he's a superb athlete that has been molded into a decent quarterback. He really lacks a solid long ball, his decision making when throwing is often suspect, and his arm can be really inconsistent at times. I think he will probably go on to play RB in the NFL, because that's where his game really shines, he's a creative runner, he has real top end speed and agility, and he isn't afraid of contact. Like I said, I'm not trying to upset anyone, I just felt like leaving my two cents.
+thoughtlessconcept dumb comment!!!...in his entire career ward has never thrown less than 65% for the season (3/4 of all qbs did less than 60%), he is top 15 nationally in pure passer rating (no running stats included)..and "molded" into a decent qb??? ward was 6-2 as a starting qb before herman ever stepped on campus including a win versus a top 25 team his first game with no practice at qb (his sophmore year)..."his decision making when throwing is often suspect" is EXTREMELY WRONG, and i'm guessing you never watched any houston games. he is a extremely smart passer, he had 6 total INTS last year in 13 games, will throwing almost 3000yds on 67% completion...i'm not going to say ward is the greatest passing qb, he has his flaws like arm strength (probably wont see him throw any passes longer than 50yds) but most of your comment is ridiculously wrong
Just had to come back and say "I told ya so," he was just invited to the NFL combine as a receiver, meaning my insight turned out to be pretty accurate considering how "EXTREMELY WRONG" it was. Sometimes numbers don't tell the whole story, ask Tim Tebow.
he is in the combine as a wr because he is 5'10, not because "he wasnt a good quarterback"..you didnt prove a single point...most people knew he would have to switch on switch on size...your post was EXTREMELY WRONG then and EXTREMELY WRONG now, because you inferred he wasnt a good quarterback..donnel pumphrey will almost certainly have to switch to a slot receiver in the nfl because of size. that doesn't invalidated him being an elite rb in college
You know what, you're probably right, I remember when 5'11" Russell Wilson had to enter the draft as a WR because despite his elite QB skills he was too short to play the position in the NFL...
bro some basic research will take you far, russell wilson was 30lbs heavier than ward...30LBs!! and if Ward was drafted as a qb he would be the smallest qb ever drafted in the 7 round draft era (noting doug flutie is the ONLY qb wards size , height and weight, to have any major success in the nfl, and he had to spend 10 years in canada before the nfl gave him a shot)..you really have no clue about this topic

He really a Eagles, he was with us when we wom the super bowl right?
Call Me J. R. On the practice squad yeah
Me
Greg ward just won us the game vs the redskins!! Hes amazinggg
If Philly had any sense, they'd utilize him even more. Run reverses, let him throw, open it up for the guy
I concur!!!
Ryan Jacobs I agree, similar to what the saints are doing with taysom hill
I was shocked that they didn’t use him against Dallas I thought they would. Maybe they’re saving it for the playoffs
@WHATEVER'S CLEVER This comment didn't say anything about the NFL, it's about Philly
@@phillynation176 Nah, not that smart
Thank you Greg you put Houston back into the minds of those snobby Power 5 schools you're a Houston legend in my book.

What ur name

Is this Fred Ross?
Same watched him beat Patrick too
@@juan_ctzz nah freddie ross is my cousin tho, we were plyler babies
This are they guys that work the hardest the ones that dont get handouts they wanted more I'm glad hes getting an opportunity and we are lucky to have him!!

AirMaxOregon 94 It was a very distant fifth and that fact that he was on a service academy team helped him immensely.
Honestly if wentz gets hurt put this man in as qb
The fact that he’s been on the practice squad for most of the year is a JOKE

So y'all would've started him over the wr that went down this season?let's be real I love the guy but no way was he starting over the others.

One of the most electrifying players I've ever seen in person.

Great vision and a feel for where the defenders are going , dudes ballin .

Kolb was fucking awful
+Eagles23 not at UH
None of those guys is even any good at the pro level. Kolb was fucking garbage. don't even know the other guys aside from Keenum & ward lol

My man deserves a contract! I will be upset if we don’t sign him
Can we get him in some philly special please!!
Greg that MVP
Fantastic
Hell of a job on editing
From Houston, throwing TDs to catching GW TDs against the redskins , Dude is Greatness just scratching the surface rn
Ward has the uncanny ability to get away like Johnny Manziel and the out-of-the-gate speed of Denard Robinson. The kid is a beast.
sweet video!! I can't wait to watch GWard and the team this coming season! Go Coogs!
He just caught Jalen Hurts first TD
He CAN BE A NEW ANTONIO BROWN
You people will never learn... just cause he’s black and athletic y’all just automatically assumes he should switch from positions smh
If he wants to play QB at the next level he has to gain weight and extremely improve his passing and mechanics I can't wait to see him this season coming
Welcome to Philly!
He was here before
Yea, like 2 years ago smh
Keep up the good work GREG!
i have a strong feeling there will be some trick plays up doug petersen's sleeve utilizing Ward.

watching this dude play qb was phenomenal tho
If all of our qb’s get injured, we know who to call
He should be next up after Wentz, not everybody
Great elusiveness and speed here. Have not seen any of those things in the NFL. Plays like a run of the mill undersized slot guy with good hands. But I have never seen him to anything after the catch with the ball for the Eagles
The Eagles can Put him in at Qb & run trick plays
turns out he was just a legend after all. haven't heard a single word about him during this draft process.

John Davis hey now he’s winning games as a receiver but I’d also like to see him as a qb
Philly Nation bro we should start using him how New Orleans uses taysome hill and we can use him on throws how the pats use Edelman
Facts... almost 9k passing with 67% completions. How come he wasn’t drafted? Somethings not adding up 🤔
@@Antisatan7771 Because he's a black QB that didn't fit the "type" of player. They are so quick to put the black QB at WR, CB, or somewhere other then their natural positions.
Ryan Jacobs it’s not cause he’s black it’s because he’s a mainly mobile qb who was considered a heavy risk based on the fact that he might not last like what happened to RGIII. That’s also why Lamar fell so deep and considering the fact that Greg ward had more rushing touchdowns than passing makes teams look at him as less of a qb and more of an athlete. It had nothing to do with race but with the questioning of his ability to last considering teams like to draft their franchise guy, and by having such an injury risk it’s impossible to be that guy
I don't get how people are just not figuring out about this guy I remember him and Lamar Jackson had one of the most hyped football games in college in a while he took down number five ranked Louisville and Oklahoma
He was a couple years too early, still not sure he has a shot though as a die-hard Greg Ward/UofH fan I'd love to see it. Reason being is he doesn't have the height; he's 5'10. Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson are 6'2, Cam Newton at 6'5. He was a great play-caller and his ability to scramble and make a play out of nothing or make a big play out of a designed run was great but the Eagles are doing exactly what our coaching staff did wrong; beef him up to prevent the risk of injury. Dude can be back in his old form if they let him play like he used to.
From Peach Bowl champion as a QB to Super Bowl champion with the Eagles.
I don't know why he is going back for another year he has already accomplished everything he can at the college level.
He needs his senior year. If he goes off like he's expected to this year, he can go from a 6th round pick, to a 3rd or 4th. He was good last year. But now he has to be great.
The eagles need to draw up some flea flickers with him
They aren't that smart unfortunately
look at him now
That Tom Day song..
EAGLES GOTTA GIVE HIM A OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY AT SLOT HE'S VERY VERY SPECIAL
He should play in the CFL he could play his natural position he is not a QB. He could be a legend in the cfl and come back to the NFL in a year or so and be a starter for a good team all the HOF players did that Steve Young Jim Kelly Warren Moon and the list goes on he is not getting no pt with the Eagles.
I meant to say he is not a Wide receiver.
welcome to Chicago
he kill us in high school football we play him my jr year at Lindale high school
Come on Ward we need you to wake up my man i haven't seen you break a tackle yet it's like im watching a whole different player. I know that you switched positions but you're not showing separation you have the speed, hands and shiftiness, im dying to see you become this player in this video my goodness, HOF. By the way i think you should've stuck with playing quarterback this video is just ridiculous.
I'M AWAKE - ARE YOU ?? I’m sure if a team wanted him to play qb he would have stuck to it but he just hasent gotten the chance
He just snagged a game winner for My Eagles
I'M AWAKE - ARE YOU ?? You happy now
@@phillynation176 > Not in that era his size was a problem for the NFL if he would've came last year or this year we're talking about a top 3 pick, smaller quarterbacks are popular now ?? He still was a better QB in my opinion and should've stuck to with it never allow anyone or anything stop you regardless.
@Mike Conville > Why should i feel stupid he's on my team dummy and im a big fan as you can see by my comment. Go troll someone else i bet you don't even know who Ward is you're just a fake fan with no knowledge of the sport, those are the worse type of fans. Where were y'all comments on this kid before his TD catch lol nothing but frontrunners and trolls.
This video is 3 years old?! Ashame how many players are hidden until they “play ball” before the play ball on the field!
He's on the eagles now, he's a great WR.
#WARDFORHEISMAN
Played PeeWee with this guy growing up and against him while playing with Mahomes, so when I say he's BEEN making plays like this, I mean it!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
He will be a wide receiver
He's the best quarterback in college football in front of lamar jackson
It’s crazy how this comment aged!
what's the music at 5:10?
4:55 first play against OU tomorrow lol
you were saying?
NOTHING
What happened to that first play huh
Dougie P better sir This guy on some plays as a QB. Can you imagine teams having to figure put whether to set up for Ward or for Wentz.
I know everybody is going to be mad at me, but I 'm not trying to troll anyone. I don't think Greg Ward Jr is a very good quarterback, he's a superb athlete that has been molded into a decent quarterback. He really lacks a solid long ball, his decision making when throwing is often suspect, and his arm can be really inconsistent at times. I think he will probably go on to play RB in the NFL, because that's where his game really shines, he's a creative runner, he has real top end speed and agility, and he isn't afraid of contact. Like I said, I'm not trying to upset anyone, I just felt like leaving my two cents.
+thoughtlessconcept dumb comment!!!...in his entire career ward has never thrown less than 65% for the season (3/4 of all qbs did less than 60%), he is top 15 nationally in pure passer rating (no running stats included)..and "molded" into a decent qb??? ward was 6-2 as a starting qb before herman ever stepped on campus including a win versus a top 25 team his first game with no practice at qb (his sophmore year)..."his decision making when throwing is often suspect" is EXTREMELY WRONG, and i'm guessing you never watched any houston games. he is a extremely smart passer, he had 6 total INTS last year in 13 games, will throwing almost 3000yds on 67% completion...i'm not going to say ward is the greatest passing qb, he has his flaws like arm strength (probably wont see him throw any passes longer than 50yds) but most of your comment is ridiculously wrong
Just had to come back and say "I told ya so," he was just invited to the NFL combine as a receiver, meaning my insight turned out to be pretty accurate considering how "EXTREMELY WRONG" it was. Sometimes numbers don't tell the whole story, ask Tim Tebow.
he is in the combine as a wr because he is 5'10, not because "he wasnt a good quarterback"..you didnt prove a single point...most people knew he would have to switch on switch on size...your post was EXTREMELY WRONG then and EXTREMELY WRONG now, because you inferred he wasnt a good quarterback..donnel pumphrey will almost certainly have to switch to a slot receiver in the nfl because of size. that doesn't invalidated him being an elite rb in college
You know what, you're probably right, I remember when 5'11" Russell Wilson had to enter the draft as a WR because despite his elite QB skills he was too short to play the position in the NFL...
bro some basic research will take you far, russell wilson was 30lbs heavier than ward...30LBs!! and if Ward was drafted as a qb he would be the smallest qb ever drafted in the 7 round draft era (noting doug flutie is the ONLY qb wards size , height and weight, to have any major success in the nfl, and he had to spend 10 years in canada before the nfl gave him a shot)..you really have no clue about this topic
