In the final days and weeks leading up to the 2025 NFL draft, there was little doubt who the Tennessee Titans would take with the No. 1 overall pick — star quarterback Cam Ward. Ward’s journey to the NFL was anything but typical.

"No one wanted him." How Ward let outsiders' doubt fuel his rise from a no-star recruit to becoming the future face of an NFL franchise.

While Tennessee has Will Levis, who started 12 games last season, it would be anything but surprising if Ward is the starter in Week 1 of the 2025 campaign. It's not as if Levis was excellent while going 2-10 with 13 touchdown passes to 12 interceptions in those 12 starts, and the Miami product brings a much higher ceiling.
