National storylines, players to watch

Top quarterback prospects

Cam Ward remains the frontrunner to go No. 1 overall to the Titans. The former Miami signal-caller impressed scouts during workouts and individual pro days.

“They finally got to see me throw in person. That should be all they need to see,” Ward said. “At the end of the day, if they want to give me the pick or not, I’m going to be happy with whatever team I go to. I just want to play football.”

Other quarterback prospects include Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, whose father is Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, and players such as Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss) and Riley Leonard (Notre Dame).

Other potential top picks

Travis Hunter (CB/WR, Colorado): One of the few true two-way players in college football.

Abdul Carter (LB, Penn State): Known for his sideline-to-sideline range.

Mason Graham (DL, Michigan): A disruptive interior lineman with All-American potential.

Will Campbell (OL, LSU): Projected to anchor an NFL offensive line for a decade.
