Cam Ward docuseries traces underdog journey to the Tennessee Titans
A new docuseries coming later this year will trace Cam Ward's underdog journey from an overlooked high school player to the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.
Why it matters: The Tennessee Titans tapped Ward in hopes that his talent and upside as an NFL quarterback could turn around a battered and bruised franchise.
The series, which will premiere on Tubi in September, offers the perfect narrative for fans to rally around.
Zoom in:"Being overlooked — in my shoes, it was a blessing and a curse," Ward said in a statement. "I overcame the curse by turning adversity into strength and I have played with nothing to lose, which is a blessing.
"It means you bring it all and leave it all out there on the field and in life."
State of play: The six-episode series "Zero Star: The Cam Ward Story" will include new behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Ward and his family.
What they're saying:"From the very beginning, when no one else saw Cam's potential, we believed in him," Cam's father Calvin Ward said.
