NASHVILLE, TN — June 4, 2025
- The Tennessee Titans might have found their franchise quarterback—and according to NFL insiders, he’s not just good. He’s cold-blooded under pressure.
Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, continues to turn heads during offseason workouts, earning the title of a “stone cold killer” from none other than ESPN’s Louis Riddick on a recent episode of NFL Live.
🔥 High Praise from NFL Analyst Louis Riddick
“This guy is a football savant… He is a stone-cold killer of a leader, and I think that’s exactly what Tennessee needed,” Riddick said.
The respected analyst highlighted Ward’s ability to quickly process information and command the offense like a veteran. Riddick emphasized that Ward’s combination of high football IQ, leadership, and calm demeanor makes him a perfect fit for a young Titans team looking to rise again in the AFC South.

Sources inside the Titans’ facility have echoed Riddick’s assessment. Ward has reportedly mastered large chunks of the Titans’ playbook within just weeks of being drafted. Coaches have been impressed with how seamlessly he commands the huddle, makes adjustments at the line, and shows early chemistry with his receivers.
🎯 Titans WR Already Impressed
Ward’s growing influence isn’t just felt in meeting rooms—it’s showing up on the field. A veteran Titans wide receiver, who will be one of Ward’s top targets this fall, recently praised the rookie:
“He’s already throwing like he’s been here for years. Calm, confident, and every throw’s got purpose. You can feel the energy change with him out there.”
While the team hasn’t named the starting quarterback for Week 1 yet, insiders believe Ward is quickly positioning himself to take the reins from day one.
💪 The Future Starts Now in Tennessee
With a new stadium on the horizon and a fresh offensive identity taking shape, the Titans’ rebuild is looking more like a resurgence. Cam Ward, described as “the leader Tennessee has been missing,” might be the catalyst that turns the tide.
Fans are already buzzing, and if early reports are any sign, Ward’s first live snap in a Titans jersey might just be the start of something special in Music City.
