Quinn Ewers

Dolphins selected Texas QB Quinn Ewers with the No. 231 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Ewers (6’2/214) was the No. 1 ranked quarterback prospect when he enrolled at Ohio State as a member of the 2021 recruiting class. He spent his freshman year playing behind C.J. Stroud and left for Texas for the 2022 season to avoid playing behind Stroud for a second consecutive season. He was immediately handed the starting job with the Longhorns and threw for 2,174-14-6 in his first year at the helm while being limited to 10 games due to injury. Ewers tapped into his potential a bit more during the 2023 season, throwing for 3,479 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions while completing 69 percent of his passes and leading the Longhorns to a 12-2 record. He built on that success with a 3,469-yard, 31-touchdown, 12-interception line last season. When he’s at his best, the talent that made him the No. 1 recruit in his class is evident, but Ewers has struggled with consistency throughout his career while being prone to turnovers and sacks. He owns a 21.8 pressure-to-sack rate for his career – a concerning total, and threw 24 picks in his career to go along with 20 fumbles. He fumbled 10 times in 2024 alone, per PFF. Ewers’ past pedigree and positive game tape will draw plenty of hype as a potential sleeper of the class once he finds a new home. People won’t be quick to forget the impressive road wins he picked up against Alabama in 2023 and Michigan in 2024 when making the case for his ceiling. However, he’ll have plenty of adjusting to make at the pro level, particularly when it comes to reading defenses, getting around pressure, and learning how to avoid sacks. The landing spot in Miami will make Ewers’ transition to the pros much smoother. He gets a quarterback-friendly scheme with Mike McDaniel’s offense and will eventually back up quarterback with similar physical limitations in Tua Tagovailoa. He will compete with Zach Wilson for the QB2 gig during training camp.
