Cam Ward, the No.1 pick in the NFL draft, has signed a rookie contract with the Tennessee Titans worth $48.7 million over four years. The deal is fully guaranteed and includes a fifth-year option. Known for his leadership, Ward has impressed coach Brian Callahan, who believes his ability to uplift teammates is vital. Ward, a former zero-star recruit who played FCS football, represents the first No. 1 overall pick to do so since 1979, and he is now part of a diverse Titans quarterback lineup.
"The leadership ability and the way he's able to make those around him better... Guys that transcend have a unique ability to connect with their teammates and then raise the level of everyone around them."
"It's promising for the Titans that they have a quarterback who not only performed well enough in college to be the first overall pick but did so while demonstrating considerable resilience and leadership traits."
