One of the newest members of the New York Giants, defensive end Jihad Ward, went viral last season as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
During a game against the New England Patriots, Ward was called for a personal foul. Most players would have argued such a call — Ward offered only a mild protest — but the 27-year-old took it in a different direction.
After failing to sway the official, Ward accepted his punishment and shook the referee’s hand, offering him kudos for a job well done.
