With the 2025 NFL Draft order officially set, speculation about the Tennessee Titans’ plans for the first overall pick is already heating up.
Reports suggest the franchise could be ready to move on from quarterback Will Levis in favor of Miami Hurricanes star Cam Ward.

The Titans, who landed the top pick after a 3-14 season, face a critical decision regarding the future of their quarterback position.
Levis, selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has struggled to meet expectations.

Despite being under contract through 2026, his underwhelming performance may prompt the Titans to seek an upgrade.
Cam Ward, who led all FBS quarterbacks with 39 touchdown passes in 2024, has emerged as a potential favorite.
Known for his dynamic arm talent and confidence, Ward offers a playmaking ability that the Titans’ offense has sorely lacked.
However, his aggressive style has also led to turnover-worthy plays, making him a high-risk, high-reward prospect.
NFL analyst Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz recently weighed in, stating, “With Ward, Tennessee might actually get what it hoped it would find in Will Levis: a dynamic thrower who can attack every level of the field.”
He added that Ward’s transition to the NFL could be challenging, particularly behind Tennessee’s shaky offensive line.
The Titans’ decision will likely come down to Ward or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, another highly touted quarterback prospect.
Sanders, who boasts an impressive 74% completion rate in 2024, offers a steadier, more methodical approach compared to Ward’s aggressive playstyle.
Both players bring unique strengths, but neither is without flaws, leaving Tennessee with a tough choice.
While rumors suggest the Titans favor Ward, the team has months to evaluate their options.
Whether they stick with Levis, choose Ward, or pivot to Sanders, the decision will shape the franchise’s trajectory for years to come.
For now, all eyes are on Nashville as the draft buzz starts to grow.
