The best part of being very bad in professional sports is that it results in a very good draft pick. So it went for the Titans, as their horrid 3-14 season in 2024 was rewarded with the opportunity to select quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall selection in 2025. Whether or not Ward becomes the franchise cornerstone for years to come remains to be seen. But Ward immediately gave Titans fans hope, something in great demand following three straight seasons with a combined total of 16 victories. Ward’s arm strength, accuracy, work ethic and confidence are all reasons to believe better times await —even if they’re off to a rough start.
More Best of Nashville wins: Cam Ward also took Best Titans Player in the Readers' Poll in 2026.
