Titans' Calvin Ridley Hypes Cam Ward, Says 'It's Time to Dominate' During 2025 Season

A mutual respect between Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley and quarterback Cam Ward has bloomed this offseason.

Ridley told ESPN's Turron Davenport that Ward's presence has provided a source of motivation.

"I could feel something in me," he said. "It was like, this kid's good and I got to be good. I can't fall behind. I got to be a help. I got to be a big help cause it's time to dominate."

Ward is equally excited by the reps he and Ridley have had on the practice field.

"That boy right there is different," he told Davenport. "I ain't never thrown to no receiver that moves and cuts like him. He's one of the top-five receivers in the NFL. I'm blessed to play with him because he's going to make me look good."

Ridley had a solid first season in Tennessee. He caught 64 passes for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns while appearing in every game.

Considering Will Levis and Mason Rudolph were the Titans' starting quarterbacks, any wideout would've struggled to put up massive numbers in 2025.

If Ward is as good as the franchise hopes, then Ridley will need to take his game to another level. Tyler Lockett was the biggest outside addition to the receiving corps, so Ridley is the clear No. 1 option.

He sounds more than ready to assume that role, and Ward is just as confident he'll deliver.
