The obvious is now official – Cam Ward is a Tennessee Titan.
The titans owned the first overall choice of the NFL draft, and after apparent field calls to it throughout the season, they decided to stick to it and take the player who has separated from the package over this process.
Earlier in high season, Ward was more so 1a to shoot the Sanders’ 1b, but the Sanders love fell quite drastically, while Ward sat over almost everyone else.

This certainly seems to be the end of Will Levis’ tennese-life tennis, like Sanders, was actually once favored to be the second quarterback taken in 2023, but a quick fall saw him going in the second round that year, which got awkward when he participated in the draft and expected to be a night election.
With Levis’ match and the first choice that falls into their lap after a 3-14 campaign, it is now Ward’s time to shine in Nashville.
Ward seemed excited about the opportunity while talking to the media on Wednesday.
“I got a chance to learn more about (titans) personally in the last few months, and I’m spent on hopefully hearing my name first called a good organization like that,” Ward said. “They have a big owner, a big GM, great assistant GM, great president. The team there, they have a pretty elite team, in my opinion – they don’t get enough credit on the paper to what they really are. So if I’m there, I know it will turn out to be good.”

“I think the quarterback that will be surrounded by some good weapons,” he added, “and I just hope I’m that guy.”
Earlier this month, Ward fell a pretty obvious hint that he knew he would go to the titans by noting titans running his back Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard, as well as wide recipients Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks, some of the best in the league in their respective positions.
Ward set the record for the most touchdowns thrown in the division in the history of 158, and beat Case Keenum by three.
Last season with Miami, Ward, who got the hurricanes in college-football-playoff conversation until he lost to Syracuse to end the season, threw for a FBS-leading 39 Touchdowns last year and a career hill 4,313 yards.

He ended up in fourth place in the Heisman Trophy vote and spent his first two seasons in Washington State.
