Tyler Lockett reveals Cam Ward reason for signing with Titans
The post Tyler Lockett reveals Cam Ward reason for signing with Titans appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Tennessee Titans are entering a new era with Cam Ward as their starting quarterback. Tennessee will be under a lot of pressure to succeed during Ward's rookie season. One Titans veteran explained in a recent interview that Ward played a big role in luring him to Tennessee. Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett explained that he signed in Tennessee because he wanted to play with rookie Cam Ward. 'I wanted to play with Cam,' said Lockett, who had heard good things from veterans friends such as Quandre Diggs about how Ward works and improves. 'You can tell he's really good at extending the play, understanding pocket awareness. … And still having an idea of everybody's routes.' Tennessee added Lockett just before the 2025 NFL Draft. At that point, it was abundantly clear that the Titans would pick Ward with the first overall pick. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler noted that Lockett is known for his ability to avoid hits and getting down at opportune times. He may have to learn how to absorb more hits while adjusting to Tennessee's new offense. 'You've got to let go of that pride of, 'I know how to do this' and you've got to go back to the learning stage and be coachable,' Lockett said. '[It's about] learning things new and down the road creating those relationships so that they know when you're doing what you're asked to do, they will be more open to ideas that you might have.' Lockett has a good chance to become Ward's security blanket during his rookie season. Titans' Cam Ward shares powerful reason behind strong work ethic Cam Ward already has the professional work ethic that NFL teams love to see. Ward reflected on his personal experiences in a recent interview to explain why he works hard every single day. 'I've grown up watching my dad wake up at 4:30 doing a job he didn't like, so if I can't wake up early and do what I need to do for a job I do like, I shouldn't be playing football,' Ward said. This is exactly what Brian Callahan and Tennessee's coaching staff want to hear from Ward. Work ethic is one often overlooked part of what makes NFL quarterbacks so talented. They put in a lot of work that NFL fans do not see, but it pays off on the gridiron. Hopefully Ward can help establish a new, winning culture in Tennessee over the next few seasons.

He believes it will be beneficial in the long-term success of the franchise. Here are some sights and sounds from Day 10 of Titans' training camp.

Tennessee Titans welcome back safety Quandre Diggs
In April, free agent safety Quandre Diggs spoke with Jim Wyatt about his cousin Cam Ward and how "incredible" it would be for the two to be able to play together in Nashville. At the time, Diggs was still rehabbing a Lisfranc fracture that ended his 2024 season, and he had no idea what the future would hold. On Tuesday, the Tennessee Titans welcomed Diggs back into the fold and will give the 10-year veteran a chance to make the dream of playing with Ward a reality. The coaching staff is familiar with Diggs, who started eight games for the Titans in 2024 after joining the team in August. He was playing at a high level when the injury hit, and finished the season with 42 tackles. Over his career, the former sixth-round pick of the Detroit Lions has recorded 622 tackles and 24 interceptions with the Lions, Seattle Seahawks, and the Titans. Not only will Diggs have to prove that he is healthy and fully recovered from the injury, but he will also be joining a crowded safety room in Nashville. The Titans signed Xavier Woods as a free agent and added Kevin Winston Jr. in the third round of the draft to fortify the back end of their defense. The move also comes on the heels of the Titans adding safety Joshuah Bledsoe earlier in the day, sparking speculation on social media about the status of the unit, specifically Winston, heading into the first preseason game. Winston is coming off a torn ACL, and left practice early on Sunday with soreness in his knee, although that was precautionary and part of a plan head coach Brian Callahan and the trainers put in place. To make room for Diggs and Bledsoe, the Titans released outside linebacker Titus Leo and safety Mark Perry.
