The Tennessee Titans are expected to take Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
Elijah Arroyo – a tight end who worked closely with Ward during their lone season together with the Hurricanes – believes that would be a great move for Tennessee.
Arroyo was asked during an appearance on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" what the Titans would get in Ward should select him with the top pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
"They're getting a dog," Arroyo responded.
While Arroyo was complimentary of Ward's athletic skill set and playmaking abilities, he believes there is another critical factor that will allow his teammate to quickly find success in Tennessee.
"I mean, you've seen it on film, you've seen what he can do, but I would say most importantly, they're getting an elite leader," Arroyo said, referencing Ward's fit with the Titans. "Just, off-the-field, he came in from Day 1 and he just brought everybody in and made us closer. The whole team was willing to work."

Ward helped lead Miami to its first 10-win season since 2017 after transferring over from Washington State. He completed 67.2% of his passes for 4,313 yards, an FBS-best 39 passing touchdowns and 7 interceptions while adding 204 yards and 4 touchdowns on the ground.
Ward's strong performance led him to a fourth-place finish in the Heisman Trophy voting. He also kept the Hurricanes in the College Football Playoff hunt for most of the season.
The Titans will be hoping Ward can lead a similar turnaround as they prepare to make him the 2025 NFL draft's top selection.
