The first puzle piece in this month's NFL draft appears to have fallen into place.
Long-time Tennessee Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt, who now works for the team's official website, reported on X Saturday afternoon that the Titans and Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders had mutually agreed to cancel an upcoming private workout. Wyatt's post stated the Titans "have seen 4 years of game film, scouted multiple games, and now attended a Pro Day they described as very impressive."
Or, translated, Tennessee believes Miami quarterback Cam Ward is its option for the No. 1 overall pick. The Titans attended both quarterbacks' pro days over the last two weeks, but only conducted a private workout with Ward, who has been the presumptive No. 1 pick for some time.
"The tape says everything I believe and I'm honest to that, " Ward said at the NFL combine about going No. 1 overall, "but I think just what separates me from everybody is the way I approach it, the mindset that I have going onto the field each and every game and I mean coming from my journey, not a lot of people can do that and so I just think it shows the work that I'm willing to put in whether I go first round or second round. At the end of the day, that draft pick don't mean nothing. It's all about establishing yourself once you get the opportunity."
After yesterday’s Colorado Pro Day, @Titans brass met with Shedeur Sanders’ camp and the parties have agreed to cancel the upcoming private workout.
