As the Tennessee Titans head toward what could be one of the most pivotal seasons in franchise history, rookie quarterback Cam Ward continues to capture the imagination of fans and players alike.
This week, the buzz reached another emotional peak when A.J. Brown, former Titans star wide receiver and current Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro, publicly voiced his full support for Ward in an emotional social media post.
“Steve McNair would have said it better… but I’m saying it now: Cam Ward is that dude. That’s the weapon in Callahan’s hands. I’m with him.”
Brown’s post sent shockwaves through the NFL community — not just for the endorsement, but for invoking the name of Steve McNair, the late, legendary Titans quarterback and a player whom Brown has openly admired throughout his career.
🏈 Cam Ward: The Future of the Titans?
Cam Ward, the electric dual-threat quarterback out of Washington State, was drafted in the second round by Tennessee in 2025 and has quickly become the focal point of optimism in Nashville. Despite Will Levis currently sitting atop the depth chart, Ward’s athleticism, arm talent, and composure have caught the attention of coaches, teammates, and now NFL stars like Brown.
“Give that young man time and protection,” Brown added. “And watch what happens. I know what greatness looks like.”
🎙️ Brian Callahan Responds
Titans head coach Brian Callahan was asked about Brown’s comments during Thursday’s press conference:
“I love it. I love that Cam’s getting that kind of respect this early. We’re building something here, and Cam’s a big part of that future. Right now, we’re focused on competition, but trust me — the kid’s special.”
Callahan called Ward “a weapon,” confirming what many close to the Titans already feel: the rookie has the potential to lead Tennessee into a new era.
