Overview

• The Tennessee Titans drafted Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, signaling a renewed focus on finding a franchise quarterback.
• Ward's selection marks the first time a zero-star high school recruit has been chosen as the top pick, highlighting his unprecedented rise through college football.
• Ward set records in his lone season at Miami, throwing 39 touchdown passes, accumulating 4,313 yards, and completing 67.2% of his passes while finishing fourth in Heisman Trophy voting.
• This is Tennessee's fourth attempt in two decades to draft a first-round quarterback, following past picks Vince Young, Jake Locker, and Marcus Mariota, with limited long-term success.
• Incumbent quarterback Will Levis, who has struggled with turnovers and a 5–16 starter record, remains on the roster and is expected to compete for the starting role.
