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.”


like I said a long time ago hes the first pick

This is one of the reasons I am not worried about USF. Ward has 30 million reasons to light up the scoreboard. He knows he’s moved himself from a 3-5th rounder to near the top of the first round. If he craps the bed against USF, he’s basically throwing away 30 million dollars (top 5 pick money compared to being a 4th rounder). Bad games again top teams can be overlooked by nfl scouts, but not games against a G5. He transferred to UM for the express purpose of raising his draft stock. Hes done that so far beyond expectations. He’s not going to ruin that by having his “one bad game” against USF. Maybe it happens against Cal or Louisville, but I see no chance of it happening against USF as he has so much personally riding on his own performance. Since he will be locked in, the rest of the team will be as well.
