Cam Ward sits down with the Storm Sessions podcast for an in-depth look at his journey to Miami.

"Ward came to Miami to play with better talent and continue to hone his craft before moving on to the NFL level. The Hurricanes provided Ward with a diverse group of weapons to work with and one of the best offensive lines in the ACC and the quarterback is delivering on his side of things in a big way."
