Cam Ward’s rise to the NFL took another step Wednesday when the Tennessee Titans named the former Miami Hurricanes star one of seven team captains for the 2025 season, a distinction voted on by teammates at the club’s Captains Dinner in downtown Nashville. Ward, the No. 1 pick in April’s draft, joins veterans Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard, Jeffery Simmons, Amani Hooker, Cody Barton and long snapper Morgan Cox as captains.
