Overview

  • The Tennessee Titans are expected to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to recent reports.
  • Analysts have criticized the decision, suggesting that Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter or Colorado's Travis Hunter would better address the team's needs.
  • General Manager Mike Borgonzi and Head Coach Brian Callahan are confident in Ward's potential, citing his maturity and skill set as fitting for an NFL starter.
  • The Titans have not pursued significant free-agency moves to bolster their quarterback position, signaling their intent to draft a rookie signal-caller.
  • This marks a rare opportunity for the Titans, who last held the No. 1 pick in 1978, adding historical weight to their decision.
