Cam Ward expected to be top pick in draft, but where will Xavier Restrepo be selected after a slow 40-yard dash time at Miami’s Pro Day?

Former Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward heard his name literally called at the 2025 NFL Draft Thursday night, but he was very much not the No. 1 pick of the Tennessee Titans. University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward, the 22-year-old rocket-armed NFL prospect, was indeed the person in question. Not retired NHL goalie Cam Ward, now 41 years old.

Ward is just the third player in Miami Hurricanes history to be selected No. 1 overall, joining quarterback Vinny Testaverde (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1987) and defensive tackle Russell Maryland (Dallas Cowboys, 1991).
