Cam Ward, just like many other rookies, is locked in on his team. He’s studying the playbook, building chemistry with his new mates, and getting familiar with the Tennessee Titans’ facilities and coaching staff. All standard stuff … What’s not so standard, though, is how he spends his time off the field.

Being in the NFL is a job. And like any job, people usually want to have a good social life on top of it. It’s the ultimate goal that we’re all chasing: the perfect work-life balance.
However, Ward isn’t drawn to an extravagant lifestyle. In a recent media session, the #1 overall pick revealed that he hardly ever hangs out with people. He likes to keep his circle small.
“Phone on D.N.D. Wake up, watch film. I talk to five people a day. So, besides my teammates, I only talk to parents and then my dog. That’s really it. So, I just be chilling. Go home, and I don’t really do too much. Eat and go to sleep,” Ward shared via Bleacher Report.
It’s an uncommon lifestyle, to say the least, but it’s how Ward likes to operate. He has a daily routine down that he follows to a tee every day, and it’s worked out for him so far. After all, he’s now the face of the Titans’ franchise.

In response to the clip, fans praised Ward for how he lives his life, saying it’s smart to keep his circle small. “Bro don‘t let snakes in his cycle,” one wrote.
“Gotta eliminate the noise. No time for that social media garbage. That’s a winner right there,” another commented.
“This guy might be the real deal,” someone else penned.

This one fan, instead of lauding Ward for his response, gave props to the Titans’ press coach while also making a lofty prediction.
“Whoever his press coach is… they need a raise.. He literally says everything right and checks off all the boxes on paper. He has to win AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year now. He won’t have any excuses if he doesn’t,” they said.
That’s a bit of a wild take to have. Ashton Jeanty is set up perfectly for success in Las Vegas, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he won the award. The Titans still aren’t that good as a team, and their performance could sway voters from picking Ward in the end. But as of now, the two are tied in many sportsbooks for odds to win the OROY.
For the time being, though, Tennessee fans must be thrilled with what they have in Ward. He continues to give good answers to the media whenever possible, and seems like a “dawg” who’s ready to be unleashed in the NFL. He has a clear runway; let’s see if he takes advantage of it and becomes the next big thing, like Jayden Daniels last season.
