While Tennessee has Will Levis, who started 12 games last season, it would be anything but surprising if Ward is the starter in Week 1 of the 2025 campaign.

Quarterback Cam Ward was selected by the Tennessee Titans with the first pick of the NFL Draft on Thursday, completing his improbable rise from an overlooked and unranked high school recruit to sure-fire first overall pick.
