The Tennessee Titans have secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, prompting speculation on how they will address their quarterback situation. Two prominent candidates have emerged: Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. Currently, Ward is favored among projections, although recent comparisons to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith have raised concerns.
While Smith has had a respectable career, he hasn't reached star status, leading to questions about whether a similar trajectory for Ward would justify the top pick. Ward's impressive college stats bolster his case; during the 2024 season, he completed 67.2% of his passes for 4,313 yards, with 39 touchdowns and just 7 interceptions, alongside 204 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns.
With a total of 18,187 passing yards and 158 touchdowns over his college career, Ward's dynamic performance has made him a strong candidate. The Titans are in desperate need of a franchise quarterback to escape their current struggles, and the outcome of this draft pick could determine their path to contention.
