The Tennessee Titans made Miami quarterback Cam Ward the top overall pick at the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday. They aren't guaranteeing him a starting spot in his rookie season over incumbent Will Levis, however.

The Titans selected Levis in the second round with the 33rd overall pick of the 2023 draft after he slipped in that year’s draft, which made for uncomfortable viewing while he sat in the green room. Levis, 25, showed glimpses at times during his rookie season, throwing eight touchdowns to four interceptions across nine games.

"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."
