'Wake Up. Watch Film': The Origin of Titans QB Cam Ward's Obsessive Drive
"Work out, stay in the playbook and throw the f--- out of the ball." That's what Cam Ward said when asked about his summer plans at the end of Titans minicamp in June. The blunt statement was a verbal representation of how the No. 1 overall pick carries himself. In an era when athletes spend more and more time on their brands, Tennessee's hopeful franchise quarterback embodies simplicity. He doesn't draw any more attention to himself than is necessary. Ward just wants to play football, literally. "Phone on DND. Wake up. Watch film," Ward said last week when asked how he manages to carry the weight of expectations. "I talk to five people a day besides my teammates. Talk to my parents and my dog. That's really it. I just be chilling. Go home and I don't really do too much. Eat and then go to sleep." With training camp just underway, the Titans have already come to admire Ward's approach. It's the same one that's been integral to his improbable rise from zero-star recruit — with stops at Incarnate Word and Washington State before starring at Miami last season — to becoming the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. It's an approach molded, in many ways, by his family. Ward learned the importance of routine from his father, Calvin, and that only his work would bring him peace. When you play well, they're going to talk about you. When you play badly, they're going to talk about you. That's what Calvin stressed when Cameron started his college career at Incarnate Word, the only school to offer him a scholarship coming out of high school. "'You got the offer you wanted. You got an opportunity to go prove yourself, so you got to block everything out,'" Calvin told me of his message to his son as he started college. "'It's about you, football and your education now. That's all it's about.'" That approach paid dividends for Ward, whose upbringing offers further context. He saw his grandparents twice per week while growing up in little West Columbia, Texas. His paternal grandfather dropped out of school in eighth grade to help care for his 13 brothers and sisters when their father passed away, taking a job as a construction worker. He rose to become the vice president of the small company. On draft night, Ward wore the 25-year-old Rolex that had belonged to his late grandfather, who had worn it no more than three times in his life. "My dad was a quiet man … pretty much leading by example," Calvin said. "Simple man. Family man. Church deacon. Never took a vacation." For the past 35 years, Calvin has worked at a nuclear plant. He drives an hour from the family's home in West Columbia to begin his 10-hour shift at 7 a.m. When Cameron was young and Calvin got home, they would promptly go to the backyard to do throwing drills with a passing net — the reps he didn't get in Columbia High School's Wing-T offense. "It got to the point in high school where when I got home, I say, 'Let's go get it' and he's already done it," Calvin recalled. But Calvin knew his son's mentality was truly different at the start of his college career. Ward's first college game was on the road at McNeese State. His parents stayed in the same hotel as the team. When Cameron visited them before curfew the night before the game, he brought his play sheet — color-coded, with more than a couple of hundred plays — to go over the calls. "It was like 'OK Dad, this is what we coming out with,'" Calvin recalled him saying. "Or, 'Hey, in this situation, this is what we're going to do.' And I ask him questions. "I'm sitting there looking during that first game and I'm like, 'Based on what he said, this is going to happen,'" Calvin added. "And it happened." UIW is where Cameron learned to obsess over film. He watched so much there that coaches would have to tell him to go back to his dorm. That approach has traveled with him to the NFL. Ward gets to the Titans' facility around 5 a.m., earlier than some of the coaches. It's a habit that began in the offseason program, when he'd do film study early with some of the rookie pass-catchers. Coach Brian Callahan has already talked to Ward about pacing himself. "Everybody always starts out of the gate pretty hot," Callahan said in June. "But you start to get into the actual routine, and you understand how long of a season it is and the marathon that it is for young players from the time they finish their college season to the time they finish NFL season. I've made that point [to him]. I'm not telling him what to do. I'm just making the point that there's a lot ahead of him that he's not aware of yet when it comes to this, the length and the week-to-week-to-week grind that comes up for these guys. It is a marathon." A marathon that Cameron will attack the only way he knows how. Last Tuesday, the Titans' reporting date for training camp, Ward arrived at the team facility at 4:45 a.m. "At the end of the day, Cameron wants to be successful," Calvin said. "He doesn't care about the glamor. He doesn't care about the glitz. He doesn't care about the money. He wants his team to win, and he wants to be successful. … When he hits the field, he wants to beat the brakes off. That's just who he is. "You've probably seen that there's not enough focus on him being the first pick or whatever," Calvin added. "He honestly does not care. That's the honest truth. He doesn't care. "He just wants to work, get better, help his team improve." Ben Arthur is an NFL reporter for FOX Sports.

‘The Shuttlebus' shines way onto Bombers practice roster
Did the Winnipeg Blue Bombers need an American running back? No, not really. Regardless if it was a need or not, there was no way the Blue and Gold were going to let Quinton Cooley walk out the door. John Woods / THE CANADIAN PRESS Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Quinton Cooley (right) bulldozed his way to the club's practice squad after impressing in pre-season play. The 5-7, 210-pound rookie out of Liberty University signed to the team's practice squad after bulldozing his way to 56 rushing yards on eight carries and one catch for nine yards in last week's 27-20 pre-season finale win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. 'He's as physical as they come. He did everything we wanted him to do and more,' said head coach Mike O'Shea after Wednesday's practice. The Bombers are on a Week 1 bye and don't open their season until June 12 when they host the B.C. Lions at 7:30 p.m. 'You gotta find a way to keep a guy like that, and see where you can slot him in.' Cooley has already earned the nickname 'The Shuttlebus' and 'Bowling Ball' from his new teammates for how he runs through defenders and his willingness to deliver a big block. 'I grew up in a Wing-T offence. Straight downhill, country boy, nose in the dirt — stuff like that,' said Cooley, who ran 426 times for 2,655 yards and 29 touchdowns in two seasons at Liberty. Prior to that, he spent three years at Wake Forest. 'It was fun for me, growing up like that, having cousins playing in the backfield, getting tougher. Going outside without the shoulder pads, without the helmets… the more I play the game the more I just want to play physical.' He's also proven to be tough. When he was a junior at Southern Nash High School in Bailey, N.C., he broke the school's single-game rushing record (413 yards in the second round of playoffs) and he did it with a torn labrum. 'My shoulder popped out of place, so they sent me out for two drives, then we went into halftime. Then, my teammate, who already had a labrum tear, gave me his shoulder brace. After that, I was like 'I'm going back in the game,'' recalled Cooley. 'And my aunt was on the sideline and she was like, 'No, you're not going back in.' So, she went back up into the stands, and by the time she did, I turned around and ran onto the field. I played the game and played my tail off.' Despite closing out his college career with some impressive numbers, Cooley's dream of playing pro football was in jeopardy. Several NFL teams showed interest in him prior to this year's draft, but his name went uncalled and he didn't receive any rookie camp invites, either. He had no choice but to get a job working at a warehouse where he loaded, delivered and installed refrigerators and washing machines. His shift started at 5 a.m. and went until 6 p.m. 'I was getting paid $160 a day. It was a pretty good job, working Monday through Saturday, so, I was doing that, trying to stay on top of things. Then I got the call May 2 (from Winnipeg) and they were like, 'We need you up here May 5,' and I was like, 'Dang, that's a quick turnaround,'' said Cooley. 'But it was a blessing. I was happy I got a call that somebody wants to give me an opportunity.' Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. The Bombers offence will continue to roll through reigning Most Outstanding Player Brady Oliveira. If the Winnipegger needs to catch his breath, or misses any time, they'll likely turn to fourth-year running back Peyton Logan, an American who can also serve as a returner, once he's taken off the one-game injured list. The running back room also features Canadian Matthew Peterson, a former Canada West Player of the Year with the Alberta Golden Bears, who was acquired in a draft day trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in April. With three names expected to be ahead of him on the depth chart and, more importantly, a limited number of import spots available, it'll be tough for Cooley to get onto the field, but he's not discouraged. 'I'm new to the game. I'll learn from Brady, learn from Peyton Logan, the vets in the room. Everywhere you go, you have to start new somewhere,' said Cooley. 'But me learning from them guys, it's really gonna benefit me. I'm pretty good at the stuff that I do, but if I can watch Brady and see the way he does stuff, I can get some of his game and put it into my game.'

Which QBs could be next to rise in NFL draft? These 10 prospects might soar in 2026
Which QBs could be next to rise in NFL draft? These 10 prospects might soar in 2026 Show Caption Hide Caption Best AFC 2025 NFL Draft picks USA TODAY's Tyler Dragon breaks down which teams in the AFC drafted the best this year. Sports Seriously Anyone looking for the next Cam Ward might want to settle in for an extended wait. To most, the No. 1 pick of the Tennessee Titans in this year's NFL draft didn't clear the threshold of a "generational" talent that his future team first floated months before his selection. But his path to the point is a unique one unlikely to be followed anytime soon. Passed over by almost every college as a zero-star quarterback who operated in a Wing-T offense in high school, he climbed from Incarnate Word at the Football Championship Subdivision to Washington State before last year transferring to Miami (Fla.), where he would become arguably the most dynamic passer in college football. At a position where players tend to be known commodities from their early high school years, it's unlikely that anyone will replicate this meteoric rise right away. But that doesn't mean that the outlook at quarterback in any given draft is static. In recent years, several quarterbacks have rocketed into the early first round, with the likes of Jayden Daniels, Michael Penix Jr. and Anthony Richardson among those who changed the conversation about their capabilities thanks to stellar final seasons. With evaluation efforts now turning toward 2026, there are already several entities who have become fixtures of way-too-early mock drafts, including Penn State's Drew Allar, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier and, yes, even Texas' Arch Manning. But keep an eye on these 10 quarterbacks who could enjoy a significant rise in next year's draft with a strong showing this upcoming season: LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina Maybe it seems like a cheat to include Sellers on this list, as he's squarely in the conversation of candidates to be the first quarterback taken next spring. To reach that point, however, he'll need to raise his baseline when operating from the pocket. Nevertheless, his inherent electricity as a dual-threat playmaker makes tolerating his unevenness more than worthwhile. The 6-3, 242-pounder might be one of the most formidable rushing threats behind center from the moment he enters the NFL, and he stands out as perhaps college football's pre-eminent creator thanks to his ability to deliver strikes to every level of the field. If Sellers can become a more decisive and anticipatory passer while also cleaning up the fumbling issues that dogged his debut starting campaign, he'll have few peers capable of measuring up to him in the draft. Fernando Mendoza, Indiana With Carson Beck (Georgia to Miami) and John Mateer (Washington State to Oklahoma) each headed to new schools, Mendoza was hardly the headliner among quarterbacks in this winter's transfer portal rush. But his move might be among the most consequential for next year's draft. In leaving Cal for Indiana, Mendoza departs a program that was sapped of its top talent – the Golden Bears lost five running backs to the transfer portal as well as their No. 1 receiver and tight end, among others – for one infusing its roster with even more promising players. After helping develop another tall, strong-armed transfer in Kurtis Rourke last season, Indiana coach Curt Cignetti should be well-positioned to guide the progress of his new 6-5, 225-pound passer. Mendoza can operate far more quickly and with more precision (68.7% completion rate last season) than Rourke did, but he'll need to better navigate pressure after taking 41 sacks last season – the most of any returning passer in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor The Mississippi State transfer didn't receive widespread recognition in 2024, as he only took over as starter three games into the year. Now, however, Robertson could be in line to receive his proper due. The 6-4, 220-pound signal-caller is one of the country's most precise downfield passers, and his heady play helped propel the Bears to a 6-0 run to end the regular season before the team fell to LSU in the Texas Bowl. His prototypical build and arm strength are major pluses, but his ability to balance an attacking mentality while infrequently putting the ball in harm's way reveals that he's more than merely just a package of traits. And with enough athleticism to escape the pocket and extend plays, he looks like exactly the kind of quarterback who can raise his profile significantly with another impressive campaign. Eli Holstein, Pitt After leaving Alabama following just one season spent redshirting, the former four-star recruit acclimated nicely to his new setting, throwing for 15 touchdowns in his first five games. The Panthers' up-tempo offense under new coordinator Kade Bell hit a midseason snag, however, with the team dropping its final six games after starting 7-0. Holstein's health played a major factor in that unraveling; the 6-4, 225-pounder missed almost the entirety of Pitt's final four contests due to leg and head injuries. With ample arm strength to push the ball downfield, the redshirt sophomore should have little trouble catching scouts' eyes, whether for the 2026 draft or beyond. Holstein will need to stay healthy and prove he can hold up against top competition after feasting on the leaner part of last year's schedule, but if he's afforded better protection along with more playmaking support at the skill positions, he could resume his ascent. Nico Iamaleava, UCLA True scorched-earth scenarios are few and far between in the NFL draft – at least for players of a certain level of ability. That's the silver lining for Iamaleava as he navigates the fallout from his unceremonious split with Tennessee following a practice no-show and widespread reports of a clash over name, image and likeness pay. The 6-6, 215-pound passer still has considerable work to do to deliver on the immense potential he teased as the former No. 2 overall recruit who built an immense buzz before even taking the field. But if he can elevate an offense that ranked in the bottom 10 in the FBS for scoring (18.4 points per game), Iamaleava can put the focus back on his physical tools and quiet – at least temporarily – the discussion about off-field matters. Dante Moore, Oregon Iamaleava isn't the only former five-star quarterback from the 2023 recruiting class in need of a do-over. Moore joined the Ducks last year after an inauspicious freshman campaign at UCLA in which he completed just 53.5% of his passes and threw for 11 touchdowns with nine interceptions. After sitting for a season, he'll take over an offense that boasted Heisman Trophy finalists in each of the last two years with Bo Nix and Dillon Gabriel – who were both fellow transfers as well. Moore will have to reaffirm the poise and precision that made him such a highly sought-after recruit, but Oregon should equip him with the proper schematic and personnel support to allow him to flourish. Miller Moss, Louisville Few players in the transfer portal era have exhibited the patience of Moss, who spent three years as a backup before getting his shot to become the starter at USC. After setting a Holiday Bowl record with six touchdown passes in place of Caleb Williams and then opening last season with a dazzling win over LSU, everything seemed to be falling into place for him to be Lincoln Riley's next prized passer. But Moss was benched after nine games, and now he's taking over for the team he torched in his first career start. No one will confuse the 6-1, 205-pounder with Tyler Shough, the 6-5, 219-pound signal-caller who became a second-round draft pick – and potential rookie starter for the New Orleans Saints – thanks to his career resurgence with the Cardinals in 2024. But in teaming up with one of college football's most acclaimed offensive minds in coach Jeff Brohm, Moss could be poised to follow his predecessor's path with a reset that allows him to get his development back on track. Austin Simmons, Mississippi Placement on this list might seem far-fetched given that Simmons has yet to make a single start in his career. But after skipping two grades in high school and graduating from Mississippi earlier this month at 19, the 6-4, 215-pound lefty – who also was a relief pitcher for the school last year before deciding to focus on football – is a clear outlier. Simmons gave a glimpse of his capabilities when he stepped in temporarily for injured starter Jaxson Dart to complete five of six passes for 64 yards in the Rebels' upset win over Georgia last year. Now, he'll be counted on to keep Lane Kiffin's high-powered offense running strong after Dart's handle on the system helped him become a first-round pick. Given his inexperience and age, Simmons might be a name to watch further down the line. But if he proves himself comfortable against top competition, he's shown he has no problem operating ahead of schedule. Taylen Green, Arkansas It doesn't require a deep dive to see the pro potential of a 6-6, 230-pound passer who ran for more than 600 yards last season. Still, despite starting two years at Boise State and making the jump to Arkansas last season, Green has yet to put everything together as a passer, with his ball placement, pocket awareness (32 sacks taken last season) and decision-making all requiring refinement. But between his superlative raw arm strength and rare running ability, he can tax defenses in a manner that few other signal-callers can. If Green overcomes an exceedingly difficult schedule and an overhauled receiving corps that lost go-to target Andrew Armstrong, he'll pique plenty of teams' interests, at least as a developmental prospect. Aidan Chiles, Michigan State In following coach Jonathan Smith from Oregon State to Michigan State in December 2023, Chiles gave the Spartans some much-needed hope as they looked to turn the page on the Mel Tucker era. Yet nothing came easily to a program stuck in transition, and the former four-star recruit threw for just 13 touchdowns with 11 interceptions as his team stumbled to a 5-7 mark. Tamping down on his turnover-prone ways will be a vital step in Chiles' development this season. But with his often dazzling deep balls and abundant athleticism, the 6-3, 217-pounder will capture plenty of attention if he can boost his efficiency and consistency.

5 Things to Know about new Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa
5 Things to Know about new Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa The Lions moved up from No. 102 to No. 70, sending both of their third-round picks in 2026 to the Jacksonville Jaguars to select Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa. Let's get to know TeSlaa a little bit. 1. Michigan native gets to come back to state in NFL TeSlaa is a Michigan native. He is from Hudsonville, MI, just outside of Grand Rapids, and went to school at Unity Christian. He then went on to Hillsdale College in Michigan, the same school his father played wide receiver at. He'll now get to play in his home state at the professional level. 2. Played quarterback in high school before moving to receiver in college TeSlaa was a high school quarterback at Unity Christian. The offense was a true Wing-T that didn't use wide receivers. TeSlaa also played safety and returned kicks. When he got to Hillsdale, he moved to wide receiver. He played three seasons at Hillsdale before moving up to Division I and Arkansas. 3. Initially had just one FCS offer TeSlaa always had a tall mountain to climb on his road to the NFL, starting with being a zero-star recruit in high school. Being a Wing-T quarterback makes it difficult to have much extensive film for colleges. He initially received just one Division I offer from Valparaiso, an FCS school. He ultimately chose Hillsdale to start and built himself up to get to a spot where he could go Division I. That included an All-American season in 2022. 4. Graduated Summa Cum Laude Not only was TeSlaa an excellent athlete in high school (football, track), he was an excellent student. Top-notch, in fact. He graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA. 5. Played through broken hand during All-American season in 2022 TeSlaa was named an Honorable Mention All-American as well as First-Team All-GMAC (Great Midwest Athletic Conference) and Conference Offensive Player of the Year during his final season at Hillsdale in 2022. He caught 68 passes for 1,325 yards and 13 touchdowns that season. He did that all with a broken hand. Imagine catching footballs at a high speed, and the most important part of your body is far from 100 percent. TeSlaa did just that. Kudos to him on that.
