Cam Ward knew that each set of eyes in the building was on him. For 45 minutes, Miami’s quarter-rear crossed all of its launch repertoire: short, deep, inclined, touches routes, even some crafts.
And the last game was a lap – he caught a pass of the receiver Xavier Restrepo.
Ward made a show. In a month, he will discover if it was enough.
With the 32 NFL teams who look at – including the Tennessee titans, the team which has the n ° 1 choice in next month and who sent practically all their decision -makers to Coral Gables – Ward was the closing number of the professional day of Miami on Monday, with expectations that grew up that the first choice of the Helica Trophy which rewritten the record book of Hurricanes.
It was the first time that Ward will have launched publicly since its university final, an appearance in the first half for Miami in the Bowl Pop-Tarts in December. He did not launch the NFL combination last month, saying that he wanted to wait for Miami’s professional day when he could throw the “best body of reception in the country”.
“He is one of the one,” said Miami coach Mario Cristobal.
But will he be n ° 1?
In the latest Recox of Fox Sports by Joel Klatt in the NFL, he passed the number 1 in Tennessee.
But it is up to the Titans to decide.
Tennessee sent what looked like the whole front office to watch Ward. The list included the president of football operations Chad Brinker, head coach Brian Callahan, managing director Mike Borgonzi, deputy director general Dave Ziegler, vice-president and football advisor Reggie McKenzie, offensive coordinator Nick Holz and quarter coach Bo Hardegree.
Ward even discussed with some of the titans staff between throws, smiling while he was walking away to prepare for the next game. He had more conversations with certain members of the Titans contingent when training was also over.
Ward ended his university career with a record for division I (FBS and FCS Level) 158 Touché passes. Its total of 18,189 yards by the pass – 6,908 at Incarnate Word, 6,968 in Washington State and 4,313 in Miami – is third in the history of NCAA behind only Keenum and Dillon Gabriel Case.
He rewritten the Miami record book in 2024, his only season with the Hurricanes. He left school as a leader in a season in a single season during yards, completing (305), Touché passes (39) and a percentage of completion both for a season and a career, at 67.2%.
