The 2025 NFL draft is fast approaching after the conclusion of pro days around the country.
Pro days are one of the final opportunities for draft prospects to showcase their skills in front of NFL personnel. Many athletes choose to participate in their school’s pro day instead of the NFL combine. Meanwhile, athletes who weren’t invited to the combine use the pro day to impress general managers, coaches and scouts.
Who impressed and who hurt their draft status at their school’s pro day?
USA TODAY Sports examines players whose draft stock is rising and falling after this year’s pro days:
2025 NFL draft: Stock up/stock down
Stock up: QB Cam Ward, Miami
Ward told Titans brass at Miami’s pro day that he was “solidifying” his place as the No. 1 pick and top quarterback prospect in this year’s class.
The Miami product backed up his words by all accounts. Ward showcased his rocket arm, solid mechanics and accuracy throwing the football. He did have a handful of inaccurate passes during the session. But overall, he reinforced why he’s the consensus top quarterback in this year’s draft.
CAM WARD OH MY 🔥

It also didn’t hurt that Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi and head coach Brian Callahan were in attendance.
The quarterback-needy Titans are on the clock.
