Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward continues to make headlines ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, this time with an incredible throw. After a phenomenal year with the Hurricanes, he is considered one of the best quarterbacks available alongside Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders.
Cam Ward Shows Off His Throwing Talent With an Insane Throw
Ward boasts a stellar combination of arm talent, athleticism, and accuracy and is among the most gifted throwers in the 2025 NFL Draft class. The quarterback’s throwing talent was on full display during a training session this week when he nailed the crossbar with a 70-yard throw.
Ward’s throw was posted on X and went viral with over 250k+ watching it.
The poster also praised Ward highly, saying that the quarterback has the potential to be the face of the league.
“Star: Cam Ward throws a 70-YARD bomb and NAILS the crossbar. Ward has the potential to be the face of the league,” he wrote.

Ward can also make quick throws and has the arm flexibility to throw at multiple angles.
He had a phenomenal campaign for the Hurricanes this year, showing off his dual-threat abilities as well in the process. He had 4,313 passing yards, 39 passing touchdowns, and only seven interceptions.
Furthermore, he had 204 yards and four touchdowns on the ground in a rushing capacity and had one receiving touchdown.
However, PFN Scouting Analyst Dalton Miller believes Ward will need time to get ready to work within an offensive structure in the NFL.
“If a team forces Ward on the field as a rookie, it will likely lead to disaster. He’s not cognitively ready to work within an offensive structure on an NFL timeline. You’ll see the same social media highlight throws he made at Miami to a lesser degree while the turnovers remain a thorn in his side.
He’ll be a 23-year-old rookie, but the position boasts longevity sans serious injury. Ward’s age is not a problem. The lack of development and continuation of frustrating mistakes makes a leap at the NFL level feel more fleeting. We’ve seen him light up the world in non-conference play for three seasons now at Washington State and Miami only to regress as the season progresses.
In short, Ward’s bad habits must be removed through an insane volume of offseason repetitions with his personal position coach. That will take time, and taking live reps at the NFL level will likely only reinforce the bad habits he currently ails from.
Caleb Williams was a far better prospect than Ward, and he very much struggled with similar timing issues in his first season as a professional quarterback. Nevertheless, Ward’s ceiling is incredibly high because he possesses an impressive frame, athleticism, velocity, and accuracy.”
