Browns rookie CB Denzel Ward joined the Jim Rome Show for a guest spot on Thursday. Ward, the AFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week, talked to Rome about a variety of subjects, including playing in Cleveland and if the 2-2-1 Browns have playoff aspirations.

After noting the team has “real good bonds” throughout the locker room, Ward talked about what it’s like to be having some early success in his hometown.

“It’s exciting,” Ward said. “I didn’t know where I was going to get drafted to before I got drafted. For it to be my hometown is crazy.”

Rome then touched the rail and asked about the playoff potential. Does Ward believe this Browns team can make it?

“Yeah I definitely feel that way. I feel the vibes around the facility. Everyone else feels that way as well.”

As Rome stated, this team could easily be 5-0 with better kicking. It’s not crazy at all.
