Cornerback Charvarius Ward found his NFL confidence four years ago after his first career start came on Sunday Night Football against Russell Wilson.
DENVER — Where does Charvarius Ward’s confidence come from as the 49ers’ cornerback? The answer: Russell Wilson, and it didn’t come easy.
“Then, fourth quarter, bright lights were on. Russell was like, ‘I’m going to target this red-headed rookie,’ because I had dreads dyed red. He was throwing deep bombs and dots. I had great coverage on Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett, but he was just dropping it in the bucket.“Coach Reid stuck with me. Because once I watched film, it gave me confidence I could play in the league.
The Chiefs lost 38-31, and the Seahawks’ insurance touchdown got set up by Baldwin’s 29-yard catch at the 1-yard line against Ward, in the closing minutes. Tonight’s meeting with Watson is in his own new home of Denver. Ward went 4-0 here with the Chiefs, but he’s still leary of the mile-high altitude.Ward — he prefers going by his nickname of “Moody,” but his mom recently relayed to him she wants him to go by his given name, Charvarius — brought up a great point about the 49ers defense’s potential stamina.
