It is a week earlier than the NFL Draft, which begins on April 24 in Inexperienced Bay, and rumors are swirling.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is as plugged in as they arrive, and lots of take into account him probably the most trusted supply within the NFL. Schefter is reporting he is aware of precisely what the Tennessee Titans are going to do with decide No. 1 within the 2025 NFL Draft — pending any wild trades, in fact.
“These chimes are music to all people’s ears and the Titans are on the clock and the decide is predicted to be Cam Ward, barring some last-minute, unexpected provide rolling into Tennessee,” stated Schefter on ESPN’s “Get Up” on Thursday (h/t On3). “The Titans are on the lookout for their quarterback of the longer term. They imagine Cam Ward is their quarterback of the longer term they usually seem like they might be constructing round, their program round that quarterback.”
Cam Ward was a Heisman candidate at Miami, and he appears to suit the prototypical “franchise quarterback” make-up in 2025. He threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns final season for the Hurricanes, in comparison with simply seven interceptions. He may run somewhat bit. He added 4 touchdowns on the bottom for Miami to convey his complete touchdowns in 2024 to 43. A season earlier than that at Washington State, he notched eight touchdowns on the bottom.
There are dangers with each decide, however Ward does appear to have the very best ground of all of the quarterbacks. Shedeur Sanders might have the very best ceiling, however he’ll come together with some baggage for Tennessee — primarily his father, Deion “Primetime” Sanders.
Do you are taking the secure decide or do you are taking the high-upside decide? Talking of Sanders, there’s all the time his teammate, Travis Hunter, who has the potential to be a star at broad receiver or cornerback within the NFL, and he desires to play each methods.
If Ward actually is the decide for Tennessee, the Titans have to get this one proper. They missed on Will Levis within the 2023 draft, however he was picked No. 33 and never at decide No. 1 total.
