Ward connected early and often with his new favorite wide receiver Calvin Ridley, starting with a touchdown pass in a 7-on-7 drill, and Ward's best play came on a scramble to his left and finding Ridley for a big TD catch as long as people ignore Jeffery Simmons likely would've had a sack.

The Titans were in a tailspin last year, going 3-14 with bottom-six finishes in both points scored and points allowed. They ended the season on a six-game losing streak. Quarterback Will Levis was benched late in the campaign for Mason Rudolph, and general manager Ran Carthon was let go after just two seasons.
