Cam Ward has warning for teams thinking of passing on him in 2025 NFL Draft: ‘I’ll remember’
NY Post
Potential top draft pick Cam Ward said he plans to “remember” any team that chooses to pass on selecting him at the 2025 NFL Draft in April.
The warning came just before he won the Davey O’Brien Award given to the nation’s top college quarterback and in response to a question about his decision not to play the entire game for Miami at the Pop-Tart Bowl.
The Hurricanes lost 42-41 to Iowa State in the relatively meaningless bowl game and Ward was criticized for coming out of the game in the second half.
Ward said Monday that he would answer any team’s questions about it during next week’s NFL combine, but forewarned any team that ends up passing on him does so at their own peril.
“OK, you’re either going to draft me or you’re not,” the QB told the Associated Press. “If you don’t draft me, that’s your fault. You’ve got to remember you’re the same team that’s got to play me for the rest of my career, and I’ll remember that.”
Ward threw for three touchdowns in the first half of the Pop-Tart Bowl and surpassed Case Keenum’s Division I record of 156 career touchdown passes before sitting out the second half, but remained on the sideline to support his teammates.

Wednesday will mark 140 days since the Knicks shook up their fan base and sent a lightning bolt through the league on the eve of training camp. All of that feels rather cute given the way the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis swap electrified the basketball world two weeks ago, and the continuing aftershocks still reverberating in Dallas, in L.A., and everywhere else in the NBA.
