"I have a lot of respect for this young man right here. A lot of our journey is similar as far as all the things he was told throughout the journey about not being good enough, nobody wanted to give him that great opportunity. But he just kept fighting, kept working, kept showing leadership, perseverance, and here is is today the No. 1 overall pick in the National Football League draft ... that's the reason why I wanted to be here to let him know how proud of him I am ... as far as the number and everything is concerned. I wore the No. 1 for a lot of different reasons, and I wore it for a long time, starting back to 1976 when I was in college. I think I wore it very honorably for the Houston Oilers organization to the point where I created a Hall of Fame career for myself. Now, I'm part of the Tennessee Titans family. My Houston Oilers jersey will probably never be worn again, I hope it won't. But the Tennessee Titans jersey is going to be worn by Cam..." This is a massive honor for Ward, as he will get to honor the jersey worn by one of the most legendary quarterbacks the NFL has seen, and one who represented the Oilers, which then became the Titans. Moon played for the Oilers from 1984 to 1993, winning Offensive Player of the Year, a nine-time Pro Bowler, a two-time All-Pro, a two-time passing yards leader, a touchdown leader, and a Hall of Fame nod. Hopefully, Ward can do what Moon did in his time with the Oilers. For more on the NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.
