Cam Ward has been nothing short of the perfect franchise quarterback with how he conducts himself around the Titans’ facility.
He feels Tennessee has given him nothing but the same as an employer, from the top down.
"From learning the custodian's name, (people on the cafeteria). We have a great building, the front office. I am excited to get the journey going with the team we have, the group we have. I am ready to get the wheels rolling." Ward said, per NFL.com
Over the weekend, Ward got to throw to Xavier Restrepo, Elic Ayomanor, Gunnar Helm, and others, including some of the veterans looking to gain valuable experience with the new franchise QB to turn this Titans’ organisation around.
Ward spoke glowingly about several of his new teammates, including several members of his offensive line.
"I (want people to know) I am all about business," Ward said. "I really want to be a pro. I want to be one of the great ones, and I want to be a good teammate at the end of the day. I want to win a lot of football games in my career, and I am excited to be around good vets like (Calvin) Ridley, good guys up front like Lloyd (Cushenberry) and JC (Latham) and those guys. I am excited, and ready to get to work."
This is how you win your franchise over.
Not just being the number one overall pick. But how you conduct yourself. He’s a bright and humble young man, and if Ward continues this trend and shines during the regular season, there will be no doubt that Tennessee will have found its next Steve McNair.
