The Tennessee Titans are counting on Cam Ward to restore the franchise to relevance
The Tennessee Titans made the decision to draft quarterback Cam Ward at No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Blown away by his leadership, personality, and physical traits, the Titans grew enamored with Ward throughout the pre-draft process. With training camp on the horizon, fans will be watching his development closely.
The Bleacher Report recently wrote an article outlining every team’s biggest reason for optimism heading into 2025 Training Camps. Unsurprisingly, Ward was the selection for the Titans.
“Heading into the offseason, the 2025 rookie quarterback class was largely viewed as an underwhelming group,” Kristopher Knox wrote. “Though the Tennessee Titans had earned the No. 1 overall selection, there was no obvious choice for them at the top of the draft.
“Tennessee ultimately decided to take Miami quarterback Cam Ward over Colorado corner/receiver Travis Hunter or Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter, the top two prospects on the Bleacher Report Scouting Department’s final draft board.”
The Titans first met with Ward at the NFL Combine. A pre-draft visit to Nashville, stellar pro day performance, and follow-up private workout solidified Ward to the Titans. New GM Mike Borgonzi was in the QB market following Will Levis’ disappointing 2024 season.
“As is always the case when a quarterback is drafted highly, Tennessee’s new signal-caller brings with him a surplus of optimism,” Knox continued. “While the 23-year-old wasn’t viewed as a can’t-miss prospect in the mold of Joe Burrow or Caleb Williams, he has the tools to eventually be a star. While the Titans might not be particularly good this season—they didn’t “earn” the No. 1 pick by accident, after all—Ward’s arrival marks the start of a thrilling new chapter for Tennessee fans.”
Titans head coach Brian Callahan has been busy building an offense around Ward’s abilities. Borgonzi also acquired multiple weapons this offseason, amidst upgrading the offensive line in free agency, to help surround Ward with a better supporting cast.
