Cam Ward, a highly touted quarterback prospect expected to make his way into the NFL soon, didn’t hold back when discussing the way the league is covered by major media outlets. More specifically, he took aim at the overwhelming attention given to the Dallas Cowboys, a team he made it clear he has no interest in joining.
During a recent interview, Ward expressed his frustration with how the NFL media operates, claiming that certain teams, particularly the Cowboys, receive disproportionate coverage regardless of their actual performance. “All you ever see is Cowboys this, Cowboys that. It’s like they run the league, but what have they really done lately?” Ward questioned.
He went on to make an even stronger statement, firmly shutting down any speculation about him ever suiting up for Dallas. “I just don’t see myself playing for a team like that. They don’t have enough class for me,” Ward declared. While he didn’t elaborate on what he meant by “class,” the implication was clear—he holds himself to a different standard and doesn’t see the Cowboys meeting it.
Unsurprisingly, Ward’s comments have sparked heated discussions among fans and analysts alike. Cowboys supporters were quick to defend their team, pointing to its storied history and massive fanbase. Meanwhile, critics of the franchise applauded Ward for saying what many have long believed: that the Cowboys are overhyped and underperforming.
As Ward prepares for his NFL future, it will be interesting to see if his outspoken nature continues to make headlines. One thing is certain—Dallas can cross him off their draft board.
