1. He hits so hard the officials won't consider Vontaze Burfict's play unusual.
2. The Bengals' defensive line and linebackers are horrible against the run which means the team needs a safety who can tackle in open space and prevent rushing touchdowns.
3. As a Brown, TJ Ward was one of the only safeties who could consistently throw off Ben Roethlisberger and Joe Flacco.
4. He was coached by Vance Joseph.
Bengals gave away what felt like 2 INT/year against Rapistburger when they let Reggie Nelson leave.
I guess offset by the 5 random unnecessary roughness Neslon would get for shoulder-to-chest hits that the refs flagged not because it was a penalty, but because he hit them simply too hard for them to not throw a flag.
Mandatory video post since I bought up Nelson:
I miss Nelson.
