Former Buckeye Denzel Ward highest-paid corner in NFL history

Another former Ohio State football great has made history and this time he is taking it to the bank. Denzel Ward scored a huge new contract extension with the Cleveland Browns becoming the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. Ward signed a five-year $100.5 million extension and of that $100.5 million, Ward will receive $60 million within the first three years.

Most Ohio State fans will remember Ward as one of the best corners in school history, earning consensus All-American honors in 2017 before becoming the fourth overall draft pick in 2018 to the Cleveland Browns. At only 24-years old, Ward already has a rather large bank account and we wish him good luck.

As always, we’ll keep our ears to the ground to see what former Buckeyes continue to do at the highest level of the game.
