Cam Ward has overtaken fellow quarterback Shedeur Sanders as the betting favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

Tennessee experimented with Will Levis after taking him in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft. However, it did not turn out as expected. Over two seasons, Levis has completed 61.2% of his passes for 3,724 yards with 20 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.

Ward and Titans defensive back Quandre Diggs are cousins. Ward's parents lived close to Diggs' mother in Texas as Ward grew up, according to a 2022 story in The Athletic, with Diggs giving Ward advice as he worked through the high school ranks and subscribing to ESPN+ to watch Ward at Incarnate Word.
