WATCH: Denzel Ward steals football from Robby Anderson

If the early returns are any indication, Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward is going to be a force for years to come.

On Thursday night against the New York Jets, Ward stole the football away from New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson as the receiver fought for the first down.

The play was pure wizardry by the rookie cornerback. He has shown stunning playmaking ability and instincts in his first three NFL games, quickly turning into one of Cleveland’s best players.

A defense with Ward and Myles Garrett create a fearsome duo that will cause problems for quarterbacks for years to come.
