Cam Ward's name continues to dominate the conversation ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, and the Miami quarterback may have just signaled where he's headed.

During a recent "Fortnite" livestream, Ward offered a subtle but revealing nod to the Tennessee Titans, who currently hold the No. 1 overall pick.

When asked to name the top running backs in the NFL, Ward listed Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears-both of the Titans' backfield. He then praised wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks, again sticking to Tennessee's roster.

Though those names don't often appear among leaguewide elite rankings, Ward's choices seem strategic, possibly reflecting his awareness-or anticipation-of where he'll land.

Titans expected to make Ward their franchise QB

The Titans have made no secret of their interest in the 6-foot-2 signal-caller. After sending representatives to Ward's Pro Day in March, the team followed up with a private workout, indicating serious intent. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last month that while the Titans initially left trade offers on the table, it would now take a "stronger package" to move them off the top selection.

Further signs pointed to Ward as their likely target when the Titans canceled a planned workout with another highly touted quarterback prospect, Shedeur Sanders, earlier this month.

Ward is coming off a stellar season at Miami, where he threw for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns, and only seven interceptions, completing 67.2% of his es.

Tennessee, desperate for stability at quarterback after failed stints with Ryan Tannehill, Malik Willis, and Will Levis, appears poised to make Ward the centerpiece of their rebuild.

The Titans finished 3-14 last season, prompting an aggressive approach to the draft. With the top pick secured, all signs now point to Ward ing the franchise in an official capacity when the 2025 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday in Green Bay.
