"Will is a quarterback in our room and he's still developing," Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi said during Tennessee's pre-draft press conference, via Pro Football Talk. "He's a young quarterback. He's had some good moments and like any other young quarterback, they're continuing to develop."

Cam Ward issued a strong warning to NFL teams in February. "If you don't draft me, that's your fault," Ward said at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. "You've got to remember you're the same team that's got to play me for the rest of my career, and I'll remember that."
