Titans quarterback Cam Ward is a cover boy.
Topps on Friday unveiled the two cover athletes for its upcoming 2025 Topps Chrome Football trading-card set — Ward and New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.

It’s the first cover-athlete honor for either player, per the New York-based Topps.
Ward is positioned looking downfield, holding the football in his throwing hand.
In the trading-card hobby, appearing on the box cover is comparable to being named the cover athlete for Madden video games. The 2025 Topps Chrome Football trading-card set is set to hit retail shops on April 15.
Ward will also have one of the biggest chase cards — rare cards that are generally more valuable than others — in the product as his 1/1 Rookie PREM1ERE patch autograph will be in the set, featuring the patch he wore during his first NFL game last September.
Previously, Maye and Ward both appeared separately in Topps NOW Cards, a print-on-demand trading card program that commemorates significant sports and pop-culture moments within 24–48 hours of those events occurring.
Both quarterbacks were featured following the moments they were drafted, with Ward’s card amassing a print run of about 30,000 while Maye’s card hit more than 6,000.Â
Ward, chosen by the Titans with the first overall pick of the 2025 draft, started all 17 games during his rookie season. He completed 323-of-540 passes (59.8 percent) for 3,169 yards, throwing for 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions while producing a quarterback rating of 80.2.
Maye, chosen third overall by the Patriots in the 2024 draft, had a banner second season, finishing second to the Los Angeles Rams’ Matthew Stafford in MVP voting and guiding the Patriots to a Super Bowl appearance.
The former North Carolina standout completed 354-of-492 passes in 2025 (72 percent) for 4,394 yards, throwing for 31 touchdowns and eight interceptions while posting an NFL-best quarterback rating of 113.5.
