Ward was selected with the top pick after an excellent 2024 season with the Miami Hurricanes. He threw for 4,313 yards with 39 touchdowns and seven interceptions while leading the team to a 10-3 record. He finished fourth in Heisman voting, was named an All-American and won the ACC Player of the Year award.

It shouldn't take long for him to get on the field. Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report predicted the first start for every rookie quarterback, and he believes Ward will be starting in Week 1 vs. the Denver Broncos.

One of the biggest questions during the pre-draft process was whether Cam Ward fit into the Tennessee Titans' system, and NFL Nation answers that.
