LAS VEGAS - Sept. 3, 2025 - PRLog -- After Jayden Daniels shocked the NFL world last season by leading the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship Game as a rookie, the spotlight now shifts to Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward, the first overall pick in the 2025 draft.
Full analysis available here: Will Cam Ward be the Next Jayden Daniels?
Ward arrives with less preseason hype than Daniels, but early signs are encouraging. After a standout college career at Miami — including 4,313 passing yards and 39 touchdowns in his senior season — Ward has impressed coaches and teammates in training camp with his work ethic and leadership.
Analysts at BookmakersReview.com highlight that Ward is entering one of the most favorable divisions for a breakout rookie. The AFC South looks wide open:
- Texans traded star tackle Laremy Tunsil, weakening their offensive line.
- Jaguars remain inconsistent under new head coach Liam Coen.
- Colts turn to Daniel Jones, coming off two poor seasons.
This gives Ward and the Titans a real chance to contend. At +700 odds to win the AFC South (BetOnline), Tennessee represents both risk and reward — with outcomes ranging anywhere from first to last in the division.
Since 2020, only 4 of 13 rookie first-round quarterbacks who made at least 10 starts led their teams to the playoffs. But in recent years, that hit rate has jumped to 50%, suggesting Ward could follow Daniels' path from last-place projections to postseason contention.
