Titans rookie QB Cam Ward sets bold goal for NFL career image

Cam Ward knows he comes to the NFL with high expectations.

That's what happens when the Tennessee Titans make you the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The former Miami star isn't backing down from the hype, though.

What's his goal for his career?

"I want to be one of the great ones," Ward told reporters on Saturday.

That's a really strong approach from the rookie. He's leaning right into the pressure that'll be on him.

"I'm about business," Ward said. "I really want to be a pro."

Ward had a winding college journey from Incarnate Word to Washington State to Miami. He's seen a lot in his football career.

Clearly, he understands how important a leader at QB is to the whole operation.

"I just want to be a good teammate at the end of the day," Ward said. "I want to win a lot of football games in my career."

Ward also has a good head on his shoulders.

He wants to learn the names of everyone in the Titans' building.

"Learning the custodians' names, the cafeteria, we've got a great building," Ward said.

That's really cool.

Ward definitely has a great chance at being a great one.
