In this story:


When watching film of Ward, he jumps off the screen like not many quarterbacks do. There is no doubt in our minds that he is the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft and any team that passes up on him will be making a mistake. We fully expect him to end up as the first-overall pick this year whether that be to the Tennessee Titans or a different team that trades up to get him. Whoever does leave the NFL Draft with Ward as their new franchise quarterback will have a superstar to build around for the foreseeable future.
