The Minnesota Vikingsâ quarterback quandary has been framed as a race between Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones â who are free agents â and 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy. However, the Vikings made contact with Miamiâs Cam Ward at the scouting combine.
Ward is in play to be the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 draft.
The Vikingsâ first pick is No. 24, so the official meeting was enough to raise eyebrows even among the beat.
âOne more interesting nugget that might mean nothing but is at least noteworthy: The Vikings interviewed Cam Ward at the combine,â ESPNâs Jeremy Fowler reported on March 2 in a batch of intel from this yearâs event.
WHAT A THROW FROM CAM WARD FOR THE TD ????â????
Ward made waves after the season. He sent a strong message to any team that may pass on him in the draft.
âOK, youâre either going to draft me or youâre not,â Ward told the Associated Press in February after receiving the Davey OâBrien award. âIf you donât draft me, thatâs your fault. Youâve got to remember youâre the same team thatâs got to play me for the rest of my career, and Iâll remember that.â
Vikings Visit With Cam Ward After QBâs WarningGettyCam Ward #1 of the Miami Hurricanes walks onto the field to face the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
Ward was a zero-star recruit coming out of high school. He began his collegiate career at Incarnate Word. Ward transferred to Washington in 2022 and then to Miami this past season.
Ward completed 67.2% of his passes for 4,313 yards, an ACC-leading 39 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. He was the 2024 ACC Offensive Player of the Year and Player of the Year, won the Davey OâBrien and Peyton Manning Awards, and was fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting.
He leaves school as the Division-I leader in career touchdown passes with 87.
âGunslinger with good size, a big arm and the mobility to help out his offensive line. Ward can read the full field and operates with average decision-making and processing quickness. Like a shortstop, he rips sidearm rockets that fit into tight windows on all three levels, but his delivery and mechanics cause inconsistencies with placement and accuracy,â NFL.comâs Lance Zierlien wrote in Wardâs pre-draft profile.
âWhile he has the ability to move the sticks with his legs, heâs more of a pocket passer than a dual-threat quarterback. Pocket mobility helps him extend and make plays out of structure, but the longer heâs off-schedule, the spottier his decision-making can get. With a patient plan and a nurturing offensive coordinator who can accentuate his physical tools while regulating the feast-or-famine elements of his play, Ward could become a good NFL starter inside of his first contract.â
The Vikings would not be âpassingâ on Ward since he projects as a higher pick than they hold. They also might not have the same urgency to make a move for him other teams might.
Vikings Already Have âFranchiseâ QBGettyJ.J. McCarthy #9 of the Minnesota Vikings warms up before a preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The cost for the Vikings to acquire the No. 1 pick would be high. In 2023, the Carolina Panthers traded two first-round picks â including the No. 9 pick that year â two second-rounders, and wide receiver DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears for the No. 1 pick to select Bryce Young.
This could simply be due diligence, with Fowler also reporting the Vikings still have the utmost faith in McCarthy. He is recovering from a torn meniscus that nullified his rookie season.
Vikings head coach Kevin OâConnell has espoused his faith in the youngster this offseason.
âAs was told to me, McCarthy has already proven to the staff heâs the franchise quarterback, but the team wonât rush his timeline,â Fowler wrote. âThey want the process to unfold organically, whether heâs ready now, in camp or in a future year.â
McCarthy is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation from two knee surgeries. The Vikings have not ruled out re-signing Darnold or Jones either.
âStill have a possibility of bringing Sam Darnold backâŠâ
