Titans Pick Cam Ward First in 2025 NFL Draft

The Tennessee Titans selected Cam Ward as the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, seeking to address their quarterback needs after Will Levis’ disappointing season. Ward, rising from a 0-star recruit to a standout passer at Miami, is widely expected to become the team’s starter, though General Manager Mike Borgonzi insists the starting role is open and must be earned. Ward has impressed with his leadership and relationship-building efforts, reaching out to fellow rookies and displaying notable self-awareness. Some teammates have expressed concerns about his aggressive play style, particularly its effect on the offensive line, but many believe he could transform the Titans' offense if he can adapt. Former number one pick Alex Smith has praised Ward’s maturity and unique experience for handling the pressures of a franchise quarterback. The Titans will maintain an open competition for the starting position as the 2025 season approaches.
