Another big prediction for Titans QB Cam Ward in 2026

Wednesday turned out to be another banner day for Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward. Not only did the league and Netflix announce that his journey to the NFL was documented for the show "Quarterback," which debuts on July 14, but he also made another list of potential breakout players.

The latest to buy into Ward and a potential jump in 2026 is Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus (PFF) who has Ward as the quarterback on his All-Breakout team.

Quarterback: Cameron Ward, Tennessee Titans

The 2025 quarterback class wasn’t as star-studded as the one prior, but it’s already produced three starters with upside going into 2026. Picking any of Ward, Tyler Shough or Jaxson Dart to excel in Year 2 would be valid, but Ward feels like the most logical selection.

Ward’s rookie campaign didn’t go quite as expected, finishing with a 56.4 PFF passing grade and more turnover-worthy plays (23) than big-time throws (21). Yet Ward showed real flashes, including compiling three games with at least a 78.7 overall PFF grade in Week 12 or later. Plus, Ward’s receiving corps earned just the 27th-best PFF receiving grade.

The circumstances are now significantly better for the former No. 1 overall pick going into his second season. Ward has two major assets at receiver in No. 4 selection Carnell Tate as well as former Giant Wan’Dale Robinson, who can help attack every area of the field. Add in new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, and the pieces should be there for Ward’s sky-high talent to consistently materialize.
