The Bears traded a second-round pick to the Steelers for Chase Claypool last season.
“Sometimes I think with Chase, it became more about Chase and less about the team. I’ve always believed the team comes first, before any individual accolades or anything like that… I want receivers that want the ball. I don’t want receivers that don’t want the ball, but you need to do it in the confinements of the aspect of the team.”
Ward knows a thing or two about what it takes to become a championship-caliber wide receiver, considering he was one of the best receivers in Steelers history and won two Super Bowls in Pittsburgh. Ward spent his entire 14-season career with the Steelers and caught 1,000 balls for 12,083 yards and 85 touchdowns. In addition to the two rings and one Super Bowl MVP, Ward was a four-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro.
“Just from the outside looking in, very talented,” Ward said. “The size alone, speed, catch radius and his athleticism, you’re just like, manー you just open your mouth like, wow, this kid has everything that you want in a wide receiver.
