Titans Count on Cam Ward for Rebuild

Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has impressed the Tennessee Titans during offseason activities with his leadership, confidence, and ability to perform under pressure. Head coach Brian Callahan and All-Pro defender Jeffery Simmons have praised Ward for balancing competitive swagger with command of the offense, while his trash-talking and focus have further highlighted his presence. Analysts, including ESPN's Louis Riddick, cite Ward's 'tier one' leadership and accountability as key for the Titans' rebuild after a disappointing 2024 season. Ward completed an 18-pass streak in minicamp, boosting optimism about his readiness. However, he still needs to win the starting quarterback job over Will Levis in both preseason and regular-season play. The Titans are counting on Ward to rejuvenate the team and move out of last place in the AFC South.
