Cam Ward hopes to see Shedeur Sanders, Kyron Drones in NFL Draft green room

Miami quarterback Cam Ward, Colorado star Shedeur Sanders and Virginia Tech standout Kyron Drones are three of the most exciting quarterbacks in college football heading into the 2024 season.

Ward is hopeful that all three will have strong years over the next several months and end up in the NFL Draft green room come April.

“For sure,” Cam Ward said when asked at ACC Media Days if that is the goal. “We haven’t said that to each other, but I know we all think it. At the end of the day, I feel like we can all put ourselves in the best position to be first-round picks, be top-three round picks.

“So at the end of the day, we’ve all got to play good. To get to that position we’ve all got to make plays. So hopefully come April all three of us are in that green room. If not I’m pretty sure one day we will be.”

Cam Ward transferred to Miami this offseason and was one of the biggest transfer portal additions in all of college football.

Kyron Drones and Shedeur Sanders are entering their second seasons at Virginia Tech and Colorado, respectively.

The three have been training together this offseason ahead of what they hope are special years in 2024.

“We help each other just from a competitive standpoint,” Ward said. “I bring it every time we work out together. I let them know that I’m the best quarterback in the group and I’ve got to go prove that every day I step on the field. So that’s just my mindset as I go into things.

“I really don’t let nothing get under my skin because I know what I set out for myself, so that’s the only thing I’m really worried about.”

This season should be an interesting one as Cam Ward and Kyron Drones are set to face off against each other in September. Ward was asked what it will be like going up against his close friend and also revealed what kind of a player he is.

“He’s real good. Being able to work with Kyron from high school all the way to now, and seeing his progress, I’d probably say he’s gotten way more fluid as a passer,” Cam Ward said. “I thought he was very stiff as we were in high school. He’s way better now. He’s very more accurate now. You obviously know about his running abilities. He’s been doing that since he was a little kid. So I think he’s going to have a great year this year, for sure.”
