Miami quarterback Cam Ward is the favorite to be the first QB off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft, and there’s growing buzz about him going No. 1 overall. Whether that’s to the Tennessee Titans, who currently hold the top pick, or via a trade with a team like the Cleveland Browns moving up, Ward’s stock is rising fast.
He had his March 24 pro day, and that performance seems to have kicked his draft momentum into a new gear. Coaches and scouts reportedly came away impressed, and one former NFL wide receiver and Super Bowl champion added his voice to the growing list of supporters.
Greg Jennings Endorses QB Cam Ward After Pro Day
Greg Jennings appeared on FS1’s “Breakfast Ball” to talk about what he saw from Ward at his pro day — and came away with strong praise for the quarterback’s approach and attitude.
“I didn’t know the type of individual Cam Ward was. To get [there] early, and to not make it about himself, but to be intentional about why he was there and what he wanted to put on display … that spoke volumes to me.”

That comment stood out, especially in contrast to the narrative forming around another top QB prospect — Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. According to multiple reports, some NFL teams weren’t thrilled with how Sanders handled his combine interviews.
One of those reports came from NFL draft analyst Todd McShay on “The McShay Show.” He said he spoke with two people from teams picking in the top 10 who weren’t impressed with Sanders’ demeanor during their 15-minute interviews.
“The two people that I spoke to were in meetings … Teams in the top 10 drafting that need a quarterback. The two people that I spoke to in these positions left the meeting feeling like Shedeur Sanders was not overly concerned with what they thought of him … It wasn’t a professional approach. Shedeur Sanders did not take a professional approach to this interview. The other person that I talked to said he wasn’t taking it seriously at all.”
Then, a report from Josina Anderson added more fuel to the conversation. A quarterbacks coach from a team picking in the top seven reportedly called Sanders “brash” and “arrogant.”
So, for Ward to show up early, handle his business, and keep the focus on the work — that’s the kind of thing that resonates. At least, it did with Jennings. And as the draft nears, that maturity could help Ward separate himself from the rest of the class.
