Cam Ward knew every set of eyes in the building was on him. For 45 minutes, Miami -Quarterback went throughout his repertoire of throws: short, deep, slopes, sidelines, even some side arms.
And the last spectacle was a trick – he caught a touchdown pass from recipient Xavier Restrepo.
Ward put a show. In a month he will find out if that was enough.
With all 32 NFL teams looking at-Inclusive Tennessee Titans, the team team # 1 election in next month’s draft and one that sent virtually all their decision makers to Coral Gables-Var Ward the final action on Miami’s Pro-Day Monday, with the expectations of growing that Heisman-TROFIN finalist who rewrites Hurricanes The first overall election when drawn on April 24.
It was the first time Ward has thrown public since his college final, a first half performance for Miami in Pop-Tarts Bowl back in December. He did not throw at the NFL Combine last month and said he would wait until Miami’s pro -day when he could throw to “the best receiving corps in the country.”
“He’s one of one,” said Miami coach Mario Cristobal.
But will he be # 1?
In Fox Sports’ Joel Klat’s latest NFL Mock draft, he had Ward No. 1 to Tennessee.
But it’s up to the titans to decide.
Tennessee sent what looked like the entire front office to see Ward. The list included football operations President Chad Brinker, chief coach Brian Callahan, General Manager Mike Borgonzi, Assistant General Manager Dave Ziegler, Vice President and football adviser Reggie McKenzie, offensive coordinator Nick Holz and Quarterbacks coach Bo Hendens.
Ward even chatted with some of the titans’ staff between throwing, smiling as he went away to get ready for the next spectacle. He had several conversations with some members of Titans’ quota as the training was over as well.
Ward ended his college career with a division at (FBS and FCS level) Record 158 Touchdown Passes. His total 18,189 passing yards-6.908 at Incarnate Word, 6.968 in Washington State and 4,313 on Miami, third most in the NCAA story behind only Case Keenum and Dillon Gabriel.
He rewrote Miami’s Record Book in 2024, his lonely season with the hurricanes. He left the school as Miami’s single-season leader in courtyards, finishing (305), touchdown-pass (39) and completion percentage in both a season and a career of 67.2%.
Ward, which avoids something very surprising, would be the first Miami player taken in the first round of a NFL draft since Jaelan Phillips went 18. And Greg Rousseau went 30. In 2021.
