Cam Ward, the Tennessee Titans' No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is having a quiet summer with the team, which his teammate Jeffery Simmons attributes to a lack of respect and attention for both Ward and the franchise.

Ward's journey to the NFL included transferring to Washington State, where he amassed 6,966 yards and 48 touchdowns over two seasons before initially declaring for the draft, withdrawing, and then transferring to Miami.

Simmons noted that Ward has a 'chip on his shoulder' and expressed excitement about the potential impact Ward could have during upcoming training camp.

Starting as an unranked recruit, Ward rose to prominence as the 2021 Southland Conference Player of the Year, throwing for 4,648 yards and 47 touchdowns.

At Miami, Ward gained national attention, becoming a Heisman Trophy finalist and winning the 2024 Davey O'Brien Award, which helped elevate his draft stock to the top pick.

Simmons believes Ward's under-the-radar persona reflects the Titans' recent struggles, including three consecutive losing seasons and instability at the quarterback position.

Simmons also mentioned on 'Good Morning Football' that it’s unusual for a No. 1 pick not to receive the recognition they deserve, highlighting the Titans' ongoing visibility issues in the NFL.
