Cam Ward is sending a warning to teams in the 2025 NFL Draft who are considering passing on him for another player.
Ward made comments to that effect on Monday night just before formally receiving the Davey O’Brien Award — given annually to the nation’s top quarterback.
“OK, you’re either going to draft me or you’re not,” Ward said, via ESPN. “If you don’t draft me, that’s your fault. You’ve got to remember you’re the same team that’s got to play me for the rest of my career, and I’ll remember that.”
Ward is amongst the top contenders to go No. 1 overall in the 2025 draft to the Tennessee Titans. However, it’s far from clear if Ward will ultimately be the pick. Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter and Penn State’s Abdul Carter are also believed to be under consideration.
While things are not settled, Ward is currently the favorite in the betting markets to be the top pick. At BetMGM, Ward is -145 as of publication to be the No. 1 overall selection in this year’s draft.
