Timeline

1994

Jihad Ward (born May 11, 1994) is an American football linebacker for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL).

He played college football at Illinois.

Ward attended Edward W. Bok Technical High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

He didn't play football until his sophomore year.

He began as a wide receiver and safety, before being converted into a stand up defensive end as a junior.

2010

He received second-team All-City (2010) and first-team All-City (2011) honors.

He also practiced basketball.

In 2013, he played in 7 games, making 26 tackles (3 for loss) and 2 sacks.

2014

Coming out of college, most analysts projected Ward to be a second or third round selection.

Although analysts had said he has above average athletic ability for a man his size, can play both end spots in a 3-4 or 4–3, is large enough to play defensive tackle in 4–3, and could become a quality pass rusher in the NFL, he was also seen as a developmental project who needs improvement in his power, and has inconsistent balance in contact.

Ward was invited to the NFL scouting combine and also participated at Illinois' Pro Day and even improved on the majority of his combine numbers.

Representatives and scouts from all 32 teams showed up at Illinois' Pro Day, which was run by head coach Lovie Smith.
