During the University of Miami’s Pro Day, Cam Ward faced numerous questions about the potential start of his NFL career with the Titans. Demonstrating his familiarity with the team, he effortlessly named all the top executives. Ward expressed his positive impressions of Tennessee’s practice facility and admitted that the Nashville hot chicken he tried on his visit was spicier than he preferred.

Ward also engaged in discussions about football, having had multiple conversations with Titans head coach Brian Callahan throughout the extensive pre-draft process. He mentioned having an understanding of his prospective role in the Titans’ offense.

“I think Coach Callahan’s one of the best head coaches out there,” Ward commented on Monday after his workout at the Miami campus in Coral Gables, Fla. “The things he did with Joe Burrow when he first got into the league made him be real successful.”

Is this actually the case? Did Callahan, as a young and fairly inexperienced offensive coordinator with the Bengals, really have a great impact on Burrow’s development into one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks? Are any of these offensive masterminds or quarterback gurus — two overused terms, by the way — actually invaluable when it comes to turning college prospects into bona fide NFL stars?
