For weeks, just about everyone in and around the NFL knew that the Tennessee Titans were selecting University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick. After the draft, Ward was asked how he's going to prove that the Titans were right to take him with the top pick.

Cam Ward received words of advice from his dad just after being selected by the Tennessee Titans in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

The 2025 NFL draft continues with the second and third rounds on Friday (7 p.m., ABC/ESPN) in Green Bay. Although Miami quarterback Cam Ward went No. 1 overall as expected, a blockbuster trade followed as the Jaguars made a deal with the Browns to move up from No. 5 to 2 to select Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter.
