Quandre Diggs, a Pro Bowl cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks and cousin of Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward, expressed confidence that Ward will succeed in the upcoming season. Diggs praised Ward's ability to handle adversity and said he expects the young QB to continue improving with the help of the Titans' new coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Brian Daboll.

Why it matters

Ward is a key part of the Titans' rebuilding efforts after a disappointing 3-14 season. Diggs' endorsement from a respected veteran player provides optimism that Ward can develop into a franchise quarterback under the team's new leadership.

The details

Diggs, who was previously traded from the Titans to the Seahawks, said Ward "handled things great" as a rookie and will only get better. He believes the Titans' coaching changes "should help" Ward, who threw for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 2025. Diggs said Ward "is somebody that doesn't get rocked by hard times, and he is going to continue to push through it."
