Titans select Ward with first pick of NFL Draft

The NFL Draft’s first overall pick for the Tennessee Titans was quarterback Cam Ward.

In the weeks leading up to the three-day event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Ward was undisputed as the clear favorite for the prestigious award.

The Titans needed a franchise quarterback, despite the fact that Travis Hunter of Colorado won the Heisman Trophy for best college player last year.

The Jacksonville Jaguars then unexpectedly agreed to trade Hunter to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the second pick.

The 21-year-old will travel to London next season as the Jaguars host a game at Wembley every year, becoming the NFL’s first genuine two-way player since the 1990s.

Hunter had significant playing time at cornerback and wide receiver in college, making him the first draft pick in 27 years.
