Cam Ward urged Carnell Tate to enjoy pre-draft process at Titans visit
Titans quarterback Cam Ward implored Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate to enjoy his pre-draft process during Tate’s top-30 visit with Tennessee.
Ohio State standout Carnell Tate had the chance to acquaint himself with Cam Ward during his top-30 visit with the Tennessee Titans prior to the 2026 NFL Draft. As a guest on Wednesday’s episode of the “Rich Eisen Show,” Tate said that Ward implored him to enjoy every moment of the pre-draft process this year as it only happens “once in a lifetime. ” Tate is widely regarded as the top wide receiver in this year’s draft class.
With that has come a busy slate of top-30 visits with teams around the league, particularly those in the top 10 of this year's draft. The Titans restructured their receiving corp in free agency, primarily with their addition of Wan’Dale Robinson, giving Tennessee a 1,000-yard receiver from 2025 out of the slot. Tennessee does have Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, two young receivers that will line up opposite Calvin Ridley on the outside in 2026.
However, Tate has the potential to be a volume wide receiver at the NFL level. The Titans have the chance to strive to have three potential 1,000-yard receivers next season to aid Ward’s development as a second-year QB in 2026.
