Charvarius Ward

Charvarius Ward is an American football cornerback for the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL. He went undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft and signed a contract with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent in April. However, he was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs three months later, in August. He became a Super Bowl champion in the 2019 season, helping the Chiefs with four tackles. In the 2021 season, he entered free agency and was signed by the 49ers in 2022. He led the league with 23 pass deflections in the NFL 2023 season, along with five interceptions and 72 combined tackles, becoming a Pro Bowler. Across seven seasons at the NFL, he has played in 93 games, stating 80, with a total of 394 combined tackles, 1.0 sacks, 66 pass deflections, 10 interceptions and three forced fumbles.

Ward did not play enough at McComb High School to be recruited, focusing on studies. Thus, in 2014, he attended Hinds Community College and transferred to Middle Tennessee State University in 2016. With the Blue Raiders, he played in 25 games, starting 10 and recording 74 total tackles with two interceptions and 20 pass deflections. Though he did not receive a NFL Combine invite, he performed drills at Middle Tennessee's Pro Day and was ranked the 46th best cornerback prospect for the 2018 NFL Draft.

Who are Charvarius Ward’s parents?

Charvarius Ward’s parents are Tanya and Garland Ward, according to the website of Middle Tennessee State University. Charvarius also has an older brother, Charvoun, who also played football at McComb High School, as per the San Francisco Chronicle. It was also reported that, because his father was incarcerated, he was primarily raised by his mother, who supported her family by working in factories in McComb, Mississippi.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Community Park Apartments, what Ward's mother, Tanya, referred to as the "ghetto," is where he was raised. He has a complex tattoo covering his chest that features the apartment building, his former street address of 120 Gillis Circle, because he wants to recall the difficult times, when food was limited and he had no idea what the future contained. However, he was able to purchase his mother a home outside of Dallas thanks to his NFL career.

Moreover, Ward survived a rare scare in the second or third grade after he leaped off a porch, following which he complained of hip pain. Tanya Ward said. “I was scared. They showed me the X-ray and his bone was paper thin. He was very skinny.” For over a year, Charvarius Ward was unable to swim, play football, or ride a bike—inactivity that contributes to his transition to a homebody.

That's also when he became "super tight" with his mother and grandmother, who assisted him with ordinary daily tasks like taking a bath. His desire to repay them would keep his motivation burning for years to come. In an interview with the Chronicle, he stated:

"It kind of disconnected me from society." “At 9 or 10 years old, that’s when you’re learning a lot of people's skills. I was scared to be seen in a wheelchair and on crutches, so I never went outside. Once I got off crutches, I stayed in the house.”

As a teenager, his primary focus was on studies with a goal to work in engineering or computer science. Though he obviously played football, but as an afterthought. Due to the injury he sustained, he had to wait till his final year at high school to play football. In his spare time, he would typically spend it at home reading novels or spending time with his mother, Tanya.
