Overview

• With Will Levis sidelined for the season, Ward is the presumptive Week 1 starter and focal point of Tennessee’s rebuilding offense.
• In back-to-back padded sessions, the rookie threw four interceptions, exposing timing issues against pro-level defenses.
• Ward publicly called the Titans’ offense “very mid” and said he feels a “target on [his] back,” underscoring his candid leadership.
• He has logged extra throws after practice with veterans like Tyler Lockett and Calvin Ridley, embracing a work ethic inspired by his father.
• EA Sports gave Ward a 72 rating in Madden NFL 26—the lowest for a No. 1 pick in 24 years—drawing criticism from figures including Robert Griffin III.
