The race for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft ended on Sunday with the Tennessee Titans holding the top pick. The early betting lines indicate the Titans are expected to take Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward with the top spot.

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.
