Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward seems to be everything the NFL thought he would be. He's a professional, he has solid character, he cares about the people around him, and he loves the game of football.

Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk provided a blunt and grim assessment of where her franchise was. "It's impossible to ignore that our football team hasn't improved over the past two years," Strunk said in a statement.

The hopes of the Tennessee Titans will rest on the shoulders of Cam Ward after they selected him with the No. 1 overall pick, but the quarterback will be under the spotlight before he even has the opportunity to turn the franchise around as a rookie.
