Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward made headlines at mandatory minicamp after exchanging his share of trash talk with his new teammates, most notably Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Titans offensive lineman JC Latham told reporters that Ward even head-butted Simmons at one point as the two traded words.

Cam Ward’s calm focus and unexpected exchange with a top defender reveal a rookie QB poised to make an impact for the Titans.

Cam Ward talks so much that Tennessee coach Brian Callahan asked the rookie if he needed to wait until the Titans quarterback stopped before calling a play during practice. The answer? Nope. Ward listens even while talking.
