Have the Tennessee Titans tipped their hand on which player they'll select with the No. 1 overall pick? Or could it be part of a pre-draft smokescreen?
According to ESPN, the Titans are conducting "an additional private workout" with Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward. Part of the workout will include a throwing session for Tennessee's decision-makers.
As things currently stand, Ward is the heavy betting favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. The 2024 Heisman Trophy finalist worked out in front of scouts at Miami's pro day on Monday and told the Titans' representatives he was "solidifying" his potential No. 1 pick status with his performance.
Despite not participating in on-field drills at the NFL combine last month, Ward's status as the presumed top pick in the 2025 NFL draft has not faltered since the end of the college football season.
He finished the 2024 season with 4,313 passing yards (second in FBS), 39 touchdowns (first) and seven interceptions.
Along with strong performance, Ward's prospect profile includes plenty of experience. The 22-year-old's lone year with the Hurricanes was his fifth year as a starter after two years at Incarnate Word and two years at Washington State. During that time, he's showcased his arm strength and athleticism with consistency.
ESPN's latest report suggests the Titans will need an offer they can't refuse to trade back from the top pick, as "they have become increasingly impressed with Ward."
Tennessee finished the 2024 season with a 3-14 record in head coach Brian Callahan's first year with the team. The Titans currently have two quarterbacks on their active roster: 2023 second-round pick Will Levis and journeyman backup Brandon Allen.
