While speaking to the Tennessee Titans’ team website, backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky made it known that he is ready to be a leader for the team and quarterback Cam Ward.
“At this point of my career, I feel like I have a lot to offer as a mentor. And Cam being young, we’ve have a great relationship so far, and I am looking forward to helping him in any way I can, and take the next step, but also these young guys. Not only Cam, but everyone on this team. It is a fairly young team overall. I am getting up there with my experience, but I feel like I have a lot to offer.
“I love being a great teammate, and I love working hard. It was a great opportunity to come here, and I look forward to playing with coach [Robert] Saleh and coach ‘Dabes. ..'”
Mitchell Trubisky, who turns 32 years old before Week 1, has been unable to find a starting job despite being a second-overall pick. He spent time with the Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, and Pittsburgh Steelers throughout his nine-year career thus far. In 82 career games (57 starts), he has completed 64.4% of his passes for 13,028 yards with a 78:48 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He explained, knowing his role as well:
“I know it is a mentor-type role, me being in Year 10 and Cam being in Year 2. My job here is to help Cam as much as possible to be the best player he can possibly be.
“I am happy to be here and support him, and I am definitely willing to help, to be the best teammate I could possibly be and help this franchise win in any way possible. I love the game of football. I love the team camaradie aspect, pushing each other, and I love competing every day and trying to be the best I can possibly be at my craft.”
Mitchell Trubisky is one of the best backup quarterbacks for Cam Ward to have. He’s a former high draft pick who did not pan out and has seen all there is in the National Football League. Trubisky has all the mileage to help Ward take that next step and develop as a solid quarterback for the Titans going forward.
