The Miami Hurricanes had their long-awaited Pro Day on Monday, and the Tennessee Titans were there in full force.
The Titans have their head coach, GM, team president and more from their football staff here at Miami. In case you wanted more of a tell, the Titans also have their in-house TV and website production team here for Cam Ward.

Despite rumors circulating at the NFL Combine that the Titans wanted to trade down, every action the team has taken since then has indicated that they are going to draft Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Even though that won't be official for a month, the team went and wined and dined their future quarterback on Sunday before watching him at his Pro Day on Monday, according to Paul Kuharsky.
The Titans spent their time in Miami talking to coaches and getting every scrap of information they can about Ward as a person and in practice. They watched an impressive throwing session.
While they did that, it is inevitable that other names come up in conversation. Likewise, the Titans brass watched the drills and were on hand to see which players made the most of their moment.
If you got distracted by Ward's highlights, here are some other notable Miami draft prospects that the team saw firsthand on Monday.
Xavier Restrepo, WR
A Day 3 target, Restrepo is an All-American slot receiver with back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons. He and Ward have a unique connection, and he could be an option for the Titans at the top of Day 3 just because it should be the team's goal to make Ward as comfortable as possible.
Restrepo seems like he is trying to help the Titans get him at a discount after he ran a 40-yard dash reportedly between 4.7 and 4.8 seconds. This was the first report, but there have been several others posting similar numbers. This is still unofficial, but this is the range you should expect to see which is going to hurt him.
I unofficially clocked Miami WR Xavier Restrepo at 4.76 and 4.83 in two attempts at the 40-yard dash

Back to back 1,000-yard seasons for the Hurricanes, 17 TDs over his past two seasons
Jacolby George, WR
The Titans need as many wide receiver bodies as possible and even though George profiles as a UDFA, his production with Ward might be enough for the Titans to make him a priority after the draft. A 36-inch vertical jump isn't eye-popping, but it won't hurt his case to be a priority UDFA.
Elijah Arroyo, TE
Arroyo is too good to fall out of the top-50 in this draft class, but if all of the top EDGEs and WRs are off the board and the Titans are looking for a weapon at the top of the second round, it wouldn't be unheard of for them to draft Arroyo. Chig Okonkwo is a free agent after this season and the team only has two viable tight ends on the roster right now, so they could convince themselves that this is the best move for Ward and the team.
Damien Martinez, RB
Martinez will probably get drafted higher than where the Titans will want to take a third running back, but he is a bruiser which is something the team doesn't have on the roster this year.
Tyler Baron, EDGE
It is fair to question Baron's commitment after he spent each season asking the Tennessee Volunteers for new NIL deals until they decided to part company. Then he followed that up by committing to three different schools this offseason. However, Baron is a talented and athletic pass rusher who has the frame to play every down. If a team can keep him motivated, he can be a dangerous piece of a defense.
He did positional drills today in front of the Titans contingent and if they had any questions about Baron they were in the perfect position to get some answers from the coaching staff and the player himself.
