The NFL Draft is always a wild ride, but the Titans are making it a Tennessee tornado. Holding the No. 1 overall pick, they were playing it cool. But now? Their recent moves are giving – low-key obsessed with one QB in particular. Tennessee is all in on Miami Hurricanes QB Cam Ward. Word on the street is they’re setting up a second private workout with him. According to Adam Schefter, “The Titans have become increasingly impressed with Ward.” At first, they were entertaining offers for the pick. Now, any team that wants it, better bring a god-tier trade package.
Ward dominated Miami’s Pro Day, showcasing elite accuracy, a rocket arm, and top-tier athleticism. With every NFL team watching, Giants included. If anyone doubted his confidence, he shut that down real quick with a four-word mic-drop: “I’m solidifying it today.” And he made sure the Titans heard it loud and clear. He gave a clear message to them. He also linked up with Tennessee’s GM Mike Borgonzi and team prez Chad Brinker, plus he’s low-key hyped about the idea of working with Brian Callahan—a.k.a. the dude who helped turn Joe Burrow into a superstar. Tennessee’s stance has flipped. Once open to trading the pick, with Borgonzi confirming that teams were blowing up their phones about it, they now seem locked in on Cam Ward.
With the draft approaching, their choice is clear: secure their QB1 or cash in on a blockbuster trade. All signs point to Ward, but in the NFL, surprises are always in play.
‘Born to Compete‘: Quandre Diggs gasses up Cam Ward ahead of draft
Former Titans safety Quandre Diggs didn’t hold back when talking about his cousin, Miami QB Cam Ward, at Pro Day. Diggs, who spent last season in Tennessee, called Ward a “competitive freak” and the kind of guy “you would love to go to war with.” That’s exactly what the team and the fans are waiting for! And this wasn’t just family bias—Diggs has seen Ward grind for years and believes he’s got all the tools to be a star in the league.

Diggs also took a trip down memory lane, saying Ward was “bad as heck” as a kid, always running around and tagging along to his games. Their bond is tight—they grew up seeing each other every weekend, whether at family gatherings or church. That kind of upbringing, surrounded by football and competition, definitely helped shape Ward into the relentless player he is today.
Remember his last game against Iowa State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl? Yeah, where he played just the first half and still dotted up three TDs. Those red-zone dimes officially made him the all-time passing TD leader across FCS and FBS with 158 in total. Absolute madness. Crazy to think this dude was a zero-star recruit in high school. Now? He’s posted up at the top of the NFL Draft, ready to cook under the bright lights.
As for whether Ward has been asking about the Titans, yeah, a little bit. Diggs admitted he’s “been vouching for him since I got there.” He’s been telling Ward that Nashville is “a place that’s seeking a good football team and wanna go out there and compete.” With head coach Brian Callahan running the show and solid pieces in place, Diggs thinks it would be a great landing spot for his cousin.
Diggs has no doubts about Cam Ward’s NFL future. “I don’t think there’s anything he can’t handle,” he said, pointing out how Ward’s road to the draft hasn’t been easy. Unlike other top QBs, Ward had to take a longer, tougher route—but that’s only made him hungrier. If the Titans pull the trigger and draft him, they’re getting a QB who’s built different—and Diggs has been saying that from day one.
