Top NFL Draft prospect Cam Ward has made a shock appearance on social media, suggesting he could be drafted by the Cleveland Browns.
Ward was spotted on the Instagram story of Browns tight end David Njoku, as the longest-tenured pass catcher on Cleveland does not know who his quarterback will be next season.
The former Miami Hurricanes quarterback is one of the top options, as the Browns hold the second overall pick in the NFL Draft. Either Ward, Shedeur Sanders, or both, will fall to the Browns at No 2 based on who the Tennessee Titans take before them.
Njoku and Ward are alumni of Miami, with the duo appearing to be in a team facility when the video was recorded due to a 'U' trash can in the background.
'There go that man right there, huh,' Njoku said in the video. 'Come talk to me nicely.'
'Cleveland! Cleveland!' Ward replies.

Ward likely will not fall beyond the New York Giants at No 3, meaning he will end up in the Big Apple, Nashville, or Cleveland as a highly anticipated rookie.
The dual-threat quarterback has been meeting with teams in lead-up to the draft, with Browns no doubt already holding meetings with Ward.
Cleveland has a need, again, for a starting quarterback after Deshaun Watson did not pan out as the team's starting quarterback.
Baker Mayfield is the team's longest-tenured starting quarterback of the last 25 years, with him only making it four seasons with the Browns after being drafted No 1 overall in 2018.
Cleveland has a chance to start anew, with Ward possibly being the cornerstone of a Dawg Pound rebuild.
