The NFL season sparks excitement as rookies Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward vie for attention. <\/p>\n

The NFL has many things to excite its fans about. The most recurrent, however, would be the desire to see how each team\u2019s rookies fare in their debut seasons. The urge to know what went behind making an entrant a top-ranking draft player will never fade, and this season, the competition seems to be pitched between two people: Cleveland Browns\u2019 quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Tennessee Titans\u2019 quarterback Cam Ward.<\/p>\n

Shedeur Sanders<\/p>\n

Once thought to be an easy shot for the No. 2 pick, Sanders had a more than disappointing start to the draft as the No. 144 pick. He now finds himself in the fourth spot behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel on the Brown\u2019s depth chart among those pushing for a quarterback slot.<\/p>\n

Cam Ward<\/p>\n

As the No. 1 overall pick in April\u2019s draft, Ward\u2019s entry into the Titans has been riddled with expectations and hopes. This trust, however, stems from a long-standing playing history. \u201cWard has shown the ability to adapt quickly after playing at three different colleges. He set a Division I record with 158 touchdown passes in his career. He threw for 18,184 yards during his college career while running for 473 yards and 20 more TDs. He became an AP All-American at Miami,\u201d writes Teresa M Walker of the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Brian Callahan, coach for the Titans, has studied how top picks fare in their rookie seasons across teams and also draws from his experience working with Joe Burrow on the Cincinnati Bengals\u2019 offense coordination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s really no stone unturned when it comes to getting a rookie quarterback ready,\u201d Callahan said, as reported by the Associated Press. \u201cAnd there\u2019s nowhere I won\u2019t look for potential edges or advice or anything like that. So, it\u2019s been a fun process for sure.\u201d Although both players have their standout points, the better option can be decided upon as the season progresses.<\/p>\n
