Titans’ Cam Ward Shares Bold, Confident Statement Amidst Struggles

In the final episode of "Zero Star: The Cam Ward Story", the Tennessee Titans' No. 1 overall pick showed off just how much confidence he has. Ward isn't being cocky, but this confidence stems from all of the work he had to put in to get where he is today.

Starting for a team that is 1-11 is far from ideal, but Ward knows his work has just begun. Not many quarterbacks are able to come into the NFL and turn around a team that went 3-14. Ward is ready to embrace the challenge as his collegiate journey proved that no matter what, hard work always pays off.

"I never forget where I came from," Ward said. "I know how hard it took for me to put myself in a position of being a first round pick. I just think that's why it's going to end up with me being one of the best players to play because not only am I willing to do it, but I'm willing to live by it every day."

Ward continued, "I don't listen to other people's expectations. They don't play the quarterback position. I know what I'm capable of doing... I know what I can do on Sunday's and that's where I think I'll be able to solidify myself as hopefully one of the top five quarterbacks to ever play the game."

"I just think in time, whether I go crazy in my first year, or I don't. If I don't start going crazy until year two or year three, eventually it's going to happen. It's been written for me. I dreamt it. I've worked for it."

Even though the results haven't been there this season, there's never been a discussion for Tennessee to draft another quarterback this year. Ward was named as one of their two "untouchables" at the trade deadline, and that comes as no surprise. Even when Will Levis returns next year, there's no chance he gets the starting job over Ward.

At the end of the documentary, the crew asked Ward what the phrase "zero star" meant to him. His answer was simple, "F*** it, we ball."

So far this season, Ward has completed 59.7% of his passes for 2,531 yards. He has seven touchdowns to six interceptions, but he hasn't thrown a pick in his last four games. Ward scored his first rushing touchdown two weeks ago as it's clear he's beginning to put everything together, even though he has just one career win as a starter. As he said, it may take a few years, but Ward undoubtedly has the pieces to be a franchise QB in this league.
