One thing that became clear about Cam Ward during his final college season at Miami and throughout the pre-draft process: He isn't shy.
Ward developed a reputation for being a risk-taker in college, as he rose through the ranks from FCS program Incarnate Word to Washington State and finally Miami. During that time he went from off the NFL's radar to the No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft, so there's little reason for him to change his approach in the pros. His new top target, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley, loves that about him.
