NFL Legend Might Be Up for Letting Cam Ward Wear No. 1 If Selected By Titans

Before the Tennessee Titans called Nashville home, they were the Houston Oilers—a team for which Warren Moon starred for 10 years. The QB, who made the No. 1 famous in H-Town, made six of his nine Pro Bowls for the Oilers, with one second-team All-Pro nod and the AP Offensive Player of the Year award in 1990.

Moon had already moved on to his third NFL team, the Seattle Seahawks, when the Oilers made their move to Tennessee, but his No. 1 is retired by the franchise all the same, even though most of those who remember his Houston years are now likely Houston Texans fans. It makes sense that Moon would be open to another player carving out his own Titans legacy wearing the No. 1—namely, Tennessee's presumptive No. 1 pick Cam Ward, who wore the number for both Washington State and Miami.
