The first two weeks of the 2024 season couldn't have gone much better for Cam Ward.
Ward ranks as the second-best quarterback in the nation according to ESPN's QBR metric. The Washington State transfer boasts an impressive score of 94.9, which places him just behind UConn's Joe ***nano. Ward has the highest QBR in the ACC.
His traditional stats are just as impressive. Ward has thrown 46 completions on 61 attempts, racking up 689 passing yards along with six touchdowns and one interception. On the ground, he's carried the ball seven times for 46 rushing yards and added another touchdown to his tally.
He still believes there is room for improvement.
