Cam Ward appeared to yell something toward the Tennessee Titans brass during his pro day workout on Monday.
The Miami quarterback revealed what he said during a post-session interview with NFL Network.
‘I said, ‘I’m solidifying it today,” Ward said with a smile, referencing his potential status as the No. 1 overall pick. ‘I made sure they heard me.’
The Titans own the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft and Ward is the odds on favorite to be the top selection. He is the consensus top quarterback in the class and has already met with Tennessee in advance of the draft.
The Titans are one of several teams still in need of help at quarterback. They currently have Will Levis and Brandon Allen on their 90-man roster, but are seeking a player with more upside after Levis’ rocky second season.
Despite this, Tennessee hasn’t yet committed to making Ward the top selection.
As such, the 22-year-old wanted to make a strong impression on them, and the other quarterback-needy teams, who were in attendance for his pro day. He particularly wanted to showcase his abilities playing under center, which he didn’t do as much at Miami, while throwing plenty of catchable balls to his receivers.
Overall, Ward seemed pleased with his performance but acknowledged he had room for improvement.
‘At the end of the day, you ain’t gonna be perfect,’ Ward said. ‘You’ve always got stuff to get better at.’
