Long-Time Eagle Greg Ward Finally Finds a New Home
After several years as a dependable and versatile player for the Philadelphia Eagles, wide receiver Greg Ward has finally found a new home in the NFL. Ward, who became a fan favorite during his time in Philadelphia, has signed with the Indianapolis Colts, marking a new chapter in his professional football career.
Ward’s journey in the NFL has been one of perseverance and determination. Originally signed by the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2017, Ward spent time on the practice squad and even had a brief stint in the now-defunct Alliance of American Football (AAF) before making his mark in the NFL. Known for his reliable hands, precise route running, and ability to make clutch plays, Ward quickly earned a reputation as a reliable slot receiver.
During his tenure with the Eagles, Ward provided steady production, particularly in critical moments. His most memorable performances include a game-winning touchdown against Washington in 2019 and several key catches during the Eagles’ playoff push that same year. Despite facing stiff competition and roster changes, Ward remained a consistent contributor whenever called upon.
Now, as he joins the Colts, Ward brings his experience and work ethic to a team looking to bolster its receiving corps. The Colts, who have been active in reshaping their roster, see Ward as a valuable addition who can provide depth and veteran leadership to a young group of receivers.
For Ward, this move represents an opportunity to continue proving himself at the highest level. With his new team, he will aim to carve out a role and contribute to the Colts’ offensive efforts as they seek to return to playoff contention.
Eagles fans will undoubtedly miss Ward’s presence, but they will also be cheering him on as he takes on this new challenge with the Colts. As Greg Ward begins this next phase of his career, his journey is a testament to resilience and the drive to succeed against the odds.
