Ward was the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, while Sanders fell in the fifth round. A lot was said about the two quarterbacks playing alongside each other leading up to the matchup. They remain friends and plan to reunite with Colbert in the offseason.
“It was really nice to meet him,” Ward said of Sanders in his postgame press conference. “I just told him I’m here for him and I’m excited to see him move forward. He’s going to continue to play for Cleveland. He’s a good QB.”
