BREAKING: Saint GM Mickey Loomis Provides An Interesting and Encouraging Update On Land QB Cam Ward Following His Officially Meeting With Ward

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis has provided an intriguing and optimistic update regarding Washington State quarterback Cam Ward following their official meeting. With the 2024 NFL Draft approaching, the Saints are doing their due diligence on potential quarterback prospects, and Ward appears to be high on their radar.

Loomis, speaking to reporters, expressed his excitement about Ward’s potential and what he could bring to the franchise. “Cam Ward is an impressive young man, both on and off the field. We had a great discussion about his approach to the game, his work ethic, and how he sees himself fitting into an NFL system. I think he’s a guy with tremendous upside,” Loomis stated.

Ward, who dazzled at Washington State with his strong arm, mobility, and ability to extend plays, has been rising up draft boards in recent weeks. The Saints, who currently have veteran Derek Carr under center, could be looking to add a young signal-caller to groom for the future, and Ward presents an intriguing option.

According to sources close to the situation, Ward left a strong impression on the Saints’ staff during the meeting. His football IQ, leadership qualities, and willingness to develop under an experienced quarterback like Carr were all noted as positives. While New Orleans may not be in immediate need of a starter, drafting and developing a player like Ward could provide long-term stability at the position.

“We’re always looking for guys who can make an impact, whether it’s right away or down the line,” Loomis continued. “Cam has a lot of the traits we look for in a quarterback, and he’s someone we’ll continue to evaluate as we approach the draft.”

With the Saints holding the No. 14 pick in the first round, it’s uncertain whether they would select Ward that early or target him in a later round. However, Loomis’ comments suggest the Saints are seriously considering him as a potential addition to their quarterback room. Expect New Orleans to remain active in scouting top QB prospects as they prepare for the future.
