Cam Ward Given Permission to Wear Titans No. 1 Jersey by Warren Moon After NFL Draft

No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward will wear Warren Moon's No. 1 jersey after the Hall of Fame quarterback gave him permission to don the number on Friday.

Moon showed up to Ward's introductory press conference, gifting him a custom No. 1 jersey.

Ward then told reporters that he had called Moon "about a month ago" about possibly wearing the number in Nashville.

Ward previously told Bussin' With The Boys' Will Compton and Taylor Lewan on Thursday that the number wasn't "really retired in Tennessee" because Moon didn't suit up for the Tennessee Titans, having spent 10 years with the Houston Oilers before they relocated. That's an important distinction for him:

No. 1 is one of eight jerseys retired by the Titans, and they honored Moon in 2006, long after they moved to Nashville.

Moon told Titans reporter Paul Kuharsky earlier this week he was still "thinking" about whether he'd give the team his blessing to unretire his number.

When the Oilers moved to Tennessee, their history followed them. Moon may never have played a down in a Titans uniform, but he's a franchise legend all the same.
