'Good Things Only Come to Those Who Work:' Cam Ward Speaks TRUTH About His Daily Grind (WATCH)

Amy Curtis | 9:00 PM on August 02, 2025

It's refreshing to hear a football player speak so positively about hard work and learning that work ethic fro his father, but Cam Ward of the Tennessee Titans did just that at a recent press conference.

WATCH:

Strong words from Cam Ward

“I grew up watching my Dad wake up at 4:30 for a job he didnt like, so if I can’t wake up early and work hard at a job I do like, I shouldn’t be playing Football”

TRUTH.

Wish him the best. He's got the work ethic. Old school soul.

He was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Here's hoping he does good things.

Good Dads are so very critically important.

Yes, they are.

I don’t even know if I appreciated what my dad did everyday because he never talked about work. The man went to work 6 days a week and then came home. Vacations were non existent. You gotta appreciate your dad while you have him around people.

This.

This is the mindset of someone your younger self would look up to.

The kid who dreamed of playing on that field, of being that athlete who shows up, no excuses, and gives it all. Be that person.

Live the work ethic that makes your past self nod in respect.

ALL of this.

I hope this guy balls the hell out this year.

We'd like to see him succeed.

I hope his dad lived to see his success. I saw so much of this growing up. People who dreaded their jobs. Who were tired all the time and never seemed to get ahead. Never complained. I hope they know what an example they set for us. https://t.co/Ep48ljTR63

His dad, Calvin Ward, is still alive. He worked as a fuel buyer for a nuclear power plant.

This is the kind of wholesome Americana we need https://t.co/5zz0Lj4UJ5
