No, that’s not a typo. Your eyes are not deceiving you. This is not Miami Hurricanes Nation fanfiction.
Cam Ward a zero-star coming out of high school is now the projected No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The 33rd Team released its latest mock draft on Thursday and moved the Columbia High School grad up to the very top. Ward is playing out of his mind and the draft experts are officially buying what he’s selling.
Kyle Crabbs projects the New York Giants to draft first overall and pairing the Miami senior with wide receiver Malik Nabers as the franchise’s next great one-two punch.
"No quarterback in the country is playing ball like Ward during the first three weeks of the college football season. With a dynamic arm and loads of confidence, Ward is seeing the field well and helping the Hurricanes to some record-setting numbers," Crabbs said.
His traditional stats are just as impressive. Ward has thrown 65 completions on 89 attempts, racking up 1,035 passing yards along with 11 touchdowns and one interception. On the ground, he's carried the ball seven times for 46 rushing yards and added another touchdown to his tally.
He still believes there is room for improvement.
“We’re not even close to playing our best football,” he told reporters. “If you go back and really watch the tape from the first game, I would say there was a minimum of ten bad plays just from a quarterback and receiver standpoint.”
