NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Cam Ward is officially The Chosen One for the Tennessee Titans.
As expected for weeks, the rags-to-riches quarterback was officially christened on Thursday night as the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft – and new face of hope for the rebuilding of a struggling franchise.
Ward, who considered entering the draft a year ago but instead transferred to star for a single season at the University of Miami, checked all the boxes. Rocket arm. High football IQ. Leadership. The Titans pretty much settled on Ward a month ago and held firm in the decision.
