Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward hasn’t had the easiest first campaign in the NFL. The former No. 1 overall pick landed on a team with little to no expectations this season, but it was hard to imagine they would be this bad after 13 weeks. 

The Titans have posted a league-worst 1-11 record. It looks like they will have the No. 1 overall pick again in 2026. Despite struggling mightily, the AFC South team remains confident that Ward can lead them for many years. 

They will clash against the Shedeur Sanders-led Cleveland Browns on Sunday, hoping to secure their second win of the season. Ahead of this rookie duel, Ward sent a message to his doubters.

Despite being the worst team in the league this season, the Titans are optimistic about the future. They should be after Ward made a strong statement about his desire to turn things around.

ā€œI never forget where I came from,ā€ Ward said. ā€œI know how hard it took for me to put myself in a position of being a first round pick. I just think that’s why it’s going to end up with me being one of the best players to play because not only am I willing to do it, but I’m willing to live by it every day.ā€

ā€œI don’t listen to other people’s expectations. They don’t play the quarterback position. I know what I’m capable of doing… I know what I can do on Sunday’s and that’s where I think I’ll be able to solidify myself as hopefully one of the top five quarterbacks to ever play the game,ā€ he added.

Tennessee has shown a better face on offense in recent games, but it needs to go that extra mile to collect more wins before the season is over.
