""Eventually the storm's going to end and all of us in the locker room, we'll remember all this moment," Ward said in October. "Someone in the world has it a lot worse than I have. So that's just how I put it in perspective. I'm very blessed. God's blessed me with the ability to do what I love for a living.""
"Stafford was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 for 2016 No. 1 pick Jared Goff and won his first Super Bowl trophy in his initial season with L.A. Despite being one of the oldest quarterbacks in the NFL at 37, Stafford is the favorite to win MVP in his 17th season. Over his career, he has earned over $364 million, the most among the past 20 first overall picks."
Cam Ward was selected first overall by the Tennessee Titans and has faced a difficult rookie season on a 2-12 team while seeking incremental progress. Ward expressed perspective and gratitude, saying the situation will pass and noting blessings and faith. First-overall selections are frequently placed on struggling franchises and often encounter early instability, including coaching changes; Ward is the fourth quarterback in five years whose head coach was fired during his rookie season. Matthew Stafford exemplifies a longer arc of success after early struggles, earning a Super Bowl title, MVP consideration, and over $364 million in career earnings.
