DETAILED NEWS REPORT:
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward is setting his sights beyond the football field, revealing that he wants to try out for Team USA’s Olympic track team this summer.
In a recent livestream interview with Adin Ross, Ward was asked if he’s aiming for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. His answer was simple and confident:
“Hell yeah, bro… The U.S. trials this year are July 31st, I want to see if I can try out. But, we start training camp July 22nd.”
Ward, 22, is widely known for his athleticism, but he surprised many by recently competing in California’s ‘Grand Athletics Last Chance Sprint Series’ meet, where he clocked an eye-popping 10.15 seconds in the 100m dash. That’s world-class sprinting speed—especially for a pro quarterback.
The timing, however, presents a challenge. Titans training camp opens July 22nd, while the U.S. Olympic Trials kick off July 31st. It would be a tight window to juggle NFL preparation with elite track competition.
Ward’s ambition to become one of the rare athletes to excel in both pro football and Olympic sprinting brings comparisons to legends like Bob Hayes and Marquise Goodwin, who both competed on the world stage in track.
As of now, neither Ward nor the Titans have made an official decision on his Olympic trial plans.
