Titans' Ward: Breakout Sophomore Season Ahead

On April 23rd, the 2026 NFL draft kicks off in just a few hours and the buzz is real

across the league for this fresh batch of stars.

The Tennessee Titans sit at 4th overall, a solid jump up from their first pick last year

when they grabbed Miami quarterback Cam Ward.

That move paid off big, setting them up to snag another gem tonight.

Ward stepped in right away and delivered for a Titan squad coming off the worst record

in 2024.

He posted decent numbers, about 60 percent completions, over 3,000 yards, 15 touchdowns

and just seven picks despite early bumps and his coach getting canned mid season.

Sports illustrated took a fresh look at that 2025 first round and bumped towards Gray

to a B-plus.

They called it smart business in a thin quarterback class, locking down the top guy after tanking

hard the year before.

He flash real growth late in the season, turning into the leader they drafted him to be, even

with a shoulder tweak sidelining him for most of the finale.

Now with Brian Dable calling plays and better weapons around him, Ward's prime for a breakout

sophomore year.

Titan's fans are hyped to build on that foundation tonight, turning early promise into sustained

contention as the pick star flying.
