Voted a team captain at the start of the season in balloting from his teammates, Ward and his team made this happen as a gesture of friendship and camaraderie for the 3-3 Texans heading into their bye week following a win over the New Orleans Saints.

“I got my own OKAI Neo Pro e-scooter back in springtime this year,” Ward said. “After using it for several months, I think these e-scooters will help my teammates easily commute to meetings, practice and around town. A cool idea for gifting to the team.”
