How Xavier Restrepo is trying to carve own path with Titans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Although Tennessee Titans rookies Cameron Ward and Xavier Restrepo arrived at St. Thomas Sports Park together after helping lead Miami to its first 10-win season since 2017, their paths couldn't have been more different.

The Titans selected Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in April in hopes that he could be their quarterback of the future. Two days later, they signed Ward's top target as an undrafted free agent. Like he did in predraft meetings with various teams, Ward urged Tennessee to draft Restrepo -- who hauled in 69 receptions for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, fueling Miami to become one of the highest-scoring offenses in the country last season.
