TEN Will Ward
NFL quarterback. Team: Tennessee Titans. Position: QB.
Quick Facts
- Position: Quarterback
- Team: Tennessee Titans
- Drafted: 2025 (No. 1 overall)
- Jersey: TBD
2026 Outlook
Ward had a rough rookie season — 55 sacks taken, 15 TDs / 7 INTs, sub-60% completion rate — but played behind a dreadful offensive line with limited weapons (Calvin Ridley missed 10 games). The Titans' overhaul is dramatic: new HC Robert Saleh, new OC Brian Daboll, plus Wan'Dale Robinson and rookie Carnell Tate joining the passing attack. With actual talent around him, Ward should make a significant leap in Year 2. (per Don't be surprised if these 9 NFL players break out in 2026)
