Former Miami quarterback Cam Ward is the presumptive top overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft next week.

Now, the Tennessee Titans hold that pick, and Ward appeared to be pandering to the team's fanbase with several tongue-in-cheek responses while participating in a Fortnite session Tuesday night.

On one clip from the YouTube livestream, Ward was asked for his thoughts on some of the top players in the league by position.

"My top four running backs in the league right now? I would say Tony Pollard (and Tyjae) Spears," Ward said of the Titans running backs.

Apparently Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley, ye of 2,005 rushing yards last season, couldn't crack Ward's list.

Ward also offered his thoughts on the NFL's top wide receivers. He named current Titans wideouts Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks to go along with superstars Ja'Marr Chase (Cincinnati Bengals) and Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings).

Ward also appeared to curry favor with the fanbase by referencing current Eagles wideout A.J. Brown, who was a former Titan.

"AJ Brown's a dawg, but he's not Calvin Ridley," Ward said.

Ward, who is listed at 6-foot-2 and 223 pounds, threw an NCAA-record 158 touchdown passes. He had a total of 18,184 yards in five seasons at three different schools. He started his career at FCS program Incarnate Word (2020-21), transferred to Washington State (2022-23), then headed to Miami (2024).
