Robert Saleh bullish about Cam Ward: 'I just don't see him failing'

Robert Saleh is entering his first season as the Tennessee Titans head coach and is bullish on the long-term potential of quarterback Cam Ward . The 47-year-old coach acknowledged his confidence in Ward isn't just due to the No. 1 pick from the 2025 NFL Draft's on-field abilities.

It also stems from witnessing how the 23-year-old signal-caller interacts with people and carries himself day to day at the team's facility. "I try to observe people from afar, and Cam is there every day," Saleh said of Ward at the 2026 NFL meetings, per the Titans' official website . "Obviously we can't talk ball with him (because of NFL rules), but I can watch him interact with the people in the building.

" "I think it is very impressive for a young man to walk through the building and know everybody by name from the janitors to the chefs to the trainers, and he addresses them by name," Saleh added. "He is a really, really good man. I just think his head is on the right way, he has the right work ethic.

I just don't see him failing. " Ward is coming off a rookie season during which he led the Titans to a 3-14 record while completing 59. 8% of his passes for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
