NFL quarterback turns on his teammates after difficult start to training camp

Tennessee тιтans rookie Cam Ward has offered a brutal ᴀssessment of his teammates after a rocky start to their training camp. 

The quarterback experienced his first two padded practices in the NFL and evidently the former Miami Hurricanes star has been left less than impressed. 

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Ward said: ‘I just think we’re very mid right now. At the end of the day, it all starts with me.

‘I just don’t think we’re at where we need to be, but we’ve got a little bit of time. Every day we get better as a whole. We’re a young team, but that’s no excuse.

‘I have to get on the same page with my receivers, watch more film, and be more accurate with the football’.

The тιтans website reported that the rookie suffered four interceptions across two days of training. He was 11-of-23 in Wednesday’s practice and 11-of-26 in Tuesday’s session.

‘It might not be where I wanted to be, but I’m throwing to 15, 16 different people every day,’ Ward continued. 

Ward’s selection by the тιтans was hardly a surprise, considering they struggled mᴀssively in 2024 under the poor play of Will Levis. 

When they drafted Ward, the Miami star got permission from Hall-of-Famer Warren Moon to don his No. 1 jersey that the team had ‘retired’.

But now, Ward will take the starting job uncontested, after Levis was confirmed to miss the rest of the season earlier this week.

The тιтans announced on Monday that Levis had underwent shoulder surgery and wouldn’t be active for the 2025 season.

When asked about how he took the news of his teammate’s injury, Ward gave a somewhat ruthless response.

‘I didn’t really have a reaction. I focus on Cam Ward,’ the rookie told reporters. 

Veteran backup Brandon Allen is set to take the QB2 spot while another career benchwarmer, Tim Boyle, is projected to slide up to QB3.

After initially beginning the 2023 season on the bench, Levis replaced Ryan Tannehill for eight games in the middle of the campaign.

Last year, Levis became the full-time starter for Tennessee, but did not put up the most impressive numbers.

Meanwhile, Ward is the first quarterback that the тιтans have taken in the first round since they selected Marcus Mariota second overall in 2015. 

Ward is also the first first-overall pick that the franchise has had since the then-Houston Oilers took running back Earl Campbell in 1978.
