Cam Ward Expected Top Pick in 2025 NFL Draft

Cam Ward, once overlooked as a high school quarterback in a run-heavy offense, has emerged as the overwhelming favorite to be the number one overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. After receiving only one college offer, he excelled at Incarnate Word, winning the Jerry Rice Award, then built on his success at Washington State and capped his college career with an ACC Player of the Year season at Miami. Ward holds the combined FBS and FCS career touchdown record and is widely regarded for his leadership, resilience, and ability to elevate teams. The Tennessee Titans, holding the top pick, are expected to select him unless a significant trade materializes. Ward’s rise from underdog to top prospect is attributed to his self-belief, work ethic, and leadership qualities, which many analysts believe will make him a franchise cornerstone in the NFL. Anticipation is high to see how he adapts at the professional level.
