In his first season in the Bay Area, Charvarius Ward proved to be one of the San Francisco 49ers’ most impactful free-agent signings last year. On a star-studded defense with Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead and Talanoa Hufanga, Ward shined in the secondary.
In his first year with the Niners, Ward received an 81.0 defensive grade (the highest PFF grade of his career) from Pro Football Focus, the sixth-highest grade for a cornerback.
