On Friday at his media availability on the NFL Mix, Miami Hurricanes QB Cam Ward introduced his choice to not take part in on-field drills.
Within the video above, Ward stated his 5 years of school movie, and the dearth of upside (learn: solely draw back) from throwing on the Mix had been the explanations he has determined to not take part. For a participant who ended his profession because the ACC Participant of the 12 months and All-Time Division 1 record-holder for landing passes thrown, it’s arduous to argue towards Ward’s logic.
Like fellow Mix invitee Elijah Arroyo, Ward will skip exercises in Indianapolis and as an alternative throw on the Miami Hurricanes Professional Day in Coral Gables on March twenty fourth. I really like the plug of Ward saying he throw “to the highest receiving corps within the nation” at his Professional Day, an announcement that places reward on the encompassing gamers who, like Ward, need to get drafted in 2025.
Whereas that is personally disappointing — I wished to see Cam Ward throw on the Mix — I absolutely perceive and assist Ward’s choice. Because the potential #1 general decide, there is no such thing as a upside to collaborating. He’ll exercise in March with gamers he is aware of, on a script he writes, and showcase his abilities from the consolation of Miami’s Coral Gables campus. Yeah, that’s a good selection.
With Ward’s choice to not take part, Miami could have 4 gamers take part in on-field drills tomorrow afternoon. RB Damien Martinez, and WRs Sam Brown, Jacolby George, and Xavier Restrepo will all look to point out their abilities and elevate their statuses within the eyes of NFL groups as soon as extra.
Extra from the mix quickly.
