The Tennessee Titans can solely go up from right here.
On Wednesday, ESPN Titans reporter Turron Davenport wrote about feedback rookie quarterback Cam Ward made after a lackluster apply session, the place the No. 1 general choose of the 2025 Draft took accountability for the offense’s “very mid” begin to coaching camp.
It is the kind of message the Titans ought to need to hear from a participant they chose to be the following face of the franchise.
“On the finish of the day, it begins with me,” a candid Ward instructed reporters. “I’ve to get on the identical web page with my receivers, watch extra movie and be extra correct with the soccer,” Ward added.
As a substitute of being alarmed by Ward’s lower than stellar coaching camp begin, the Titans ought to really feel relieved by his feedback on his and the offense’s struggles.
It is a lot simpler to repair timing and chemistry points than to a participant’s private make-up, and Ward seemingly has the suitable demeanor to tackle the QB1 position.
Head coach Brian Callahan expressed confidence in his rookie quarterback, with Davenport noting he mentioned earlier than apply, “It is simply kind of how he is wired. I really feel actually good about how he’ll reply to any negativity generally.”
Ward took a circuitous path to the NFL, starting his collegiate profession in 2020 at FCS Incarnate World, the place he performed his first two seasons earlier than transferring to Washington State (2022-23), adopted by a fifth-year senior stint at Miami, the place he was a 2024 Heisman finalist.
He was ignored out of highschool, going unranked within the 2020 class, per 247Sports.
For a participant who wasn’t assured something coming into faculty, Ward already is aware of these items take work. And the Titans have a ton of labor to do.
