Former NFL quarterback Kurt Benkert, who played for a period of time for the Green Bay Packers, spoke out about Ward in a social media post on X. He dropped a jaw-dropping comparison for Ward.
Benkert, who played with Aaron Rodgers, said that Ward has “Aaron Rodgers-esque” arm talent.

Needless to say, that is an impressive statement. Benkert is not a household name for NFL fans, but he’s still a quarterback who made it to the NFL level. That is major praise for the young Miami quarterback.
During the 2024 college football season with the Hurricanes, Ward completed 67.2 percent of his pass attempts for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions. He also chipped in with 204 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
Ward’s future looks incredibly bright and it sure seems like that future will end up being with the Titans.
