The 'No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft' quiz

With the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft...the Tennessee Titans select...Cam Ward, University of Miami!

The Titans had long been expected to take the quarterback who began his college football career at Incarnate Word and ended it as a Heisman Trophy finalist with a two-year stint at Washington State in between. In Ward's lone season as a Hurricane, he led all of FBS with 38 passing touchdowns to go with 4,313 yards, while adding another 204 yards and four more scores on the ground. Ward joins a Titans team that went 3-14 in 2024 and trotted out a less-than-inspiring QB room featuring Will Levis and Mason Rudolph. But the roster does have an interesting group of veteran skill players featuring Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard and Tyler Lockett that could make Ward's transition to the NFL smoother.

Which brings us to today's quiz. How many of the No. 1 overall picks from the NFL Draft since 1966 can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
