The 2025 NFL draft is officially in the books. And while it wasn't considered the best year for quarterbacks, the event didn't lack for drama at the position.
As expected, Miami quarterback Cam Ward was the first player taken, going No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans. The choice felt inevitable by Thursday night, but that shouldn't overshadow his incredible story—after playing in a run-heavy wing T offense in high school, he began his career at Incarnate Word, lighting up the FCS level before transferring to Washington State and finally finishing at Miami. He was a big transfer portal get, and the Hurricanes hope to repeat that success with Georgia's Carson Beck, who was once considered a potential Heisman winner and top draft pick before a rough 2024 season put a damper on his prospects. He'll now look to reassert himself as a top college QB in Coral Gables.
