NFL Veteran Cam Ward discusses strugglings faced by rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders in his early professional career
Titans Set Sights on Ward as Franchise Quarterback
The Tennessee Titans have made a bold move, selecting Cam Ward as the number one overall pick in the NFL Draft. With all the pieces falling into place, the team is optimistic about Ward's success in the Volunteer State.
Ward will be joining a talented roster, with Calvin Ridley returning as the number one wide receiver. The front office has also bolstered the receiving corps by adding veteran receivers Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson.
Brian Callahan, who played a significant role in developing Joe Burrow, will be coaching Ward. Callahan has expressed his intention to tailor the offense to fit Ward's dynamic skillset, setting the stage for an exciting offensive showcase.
While Ward's rookie season performance will undoubtedly be compared to that of Shedeur Sanders, the two quarterbacks share a unique bond. They are friends and, unlike some high-profile quarterbacks, do not have a rivalry.
Sanders, who was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns, finds himself in a different situation. As the Browns' third-string quarterback, his odds of reaching the field this season are slim, with Joe Flacco as the starter and Dillon Gabriel as his backup.
Despite the circumstances, Ward believes Sanders is a productive quarterback and expects him to make the most of his opportunity as a starter. If Sanders does succeed and Ward struggles, buyer's remorse may occur in Tennessee.
The Green Bay Packers, a unique NFL franchise, offer a contrasting story. They are the only NFL team owned by their fans, following a European-style ownership model. This sets them apart from typical privately owned teams.
As the Titans prepare for the upcoming season, the spotlight is on Ward. His success or failure will undoubtedly shape the future of the franchise. With the right support and coaching, Ward could potentially win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, setting the stage for a promising career in Tennessee.
