“I’ll beat your A**” : Cam Ward reunites with college star Xavier Restrepo — Titans' 2025 offense just got interesting

The Tennessee Titans are wasting no time reshaping their roster after a disappointing 2024 season. With a major quarterback addition in Cam Ward and a sneaky-underrated move to sign his college teammate Xavier Restrepo as an undrafted free agent, the Titans are banking on chemistry, talent, and a fresh start to spark their offense in 2025.

Cam Ward and Xavier Restrepo reignite college chemistry in Tennessee

When the Titans selected Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they signaled a bold new era for the franchise. But what flew under the radar was the team’s decision to bring in Xavier Restrepo — Ward’s go-to wide receiver at Miami — shortly after the draft. Despite going undrafted, Restrepo has a real chance to break into Tennessee’s wide receiver rotation, which currently lacks depth and established talent.Restrepo and Ward were electric together in 2024 at Miami, helping each other produce career-best numbers. Ward's pinpoint accuracy and improvisational skills thrived with Restrepo’s route-running and reliability in the slot. Their connection not only lit up ACC defenses but also helped Ward climb to the top of the draft board. Now, they’ll look to translate that success to the NFL stage.

Restrepo’s journey is already off to a lively start.

In a now-viral moment at Titans practice, Ward jokingly snapped at his former college teammate after Restrepo repeatedly bounced a football on the ground. “Quit throwing my ball on the ground before I beat your a**,” Ward said, captured in a July 11 YouTube vlog. The clip was all in good fun but underscored their familiarity — something that could fast-track their adjustment in the NFL.At Miami, Restrepo was known for his toughness, leadership, and consistency. His 2024 college campaign — where he flourished alongside Ward — proved he can deliver under pressure. While he may have been overlooked during the draft, the Titans are giving him the perfect environment to thrive: a familiar quarterback, a thin receiver room, and an offense in need of playmakers.Also Read: Jonnu Smith and Jalen Ramsey receive new Jersey numbers after Steelers-Dolphins NFL TradeIf their college chemistry clicks in Tennessee, the Titans might have pulled off one of the smartest under-the-radar moves of the offseason — one that could help turn the page on a dismal 2024 and shape a brighter 2025.
