The Miami Dolphins selected Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 231st overall. 5o4p54

Ewers could challenge for the Dolphins' backup quarterback job behind Tua Tagovailoa. The only other er on the depth chart is former second overall pick Zach Wilson.

Ewers won 27 games across 35 starts for Texas. He went 21-4 over his final two years with the Longhorns. Ewers ended his collegiate career with 68 touchdowns, 24 interceptions, and 9,128 ing yards.

He was the last of the major quarterback prospects to be selected. Ewers went four picks after the San Francisco 49ers took Indiana er Kurtis Rourke.

Ewers never quite lived up to expectations at Texas, but it's easy to see the talent. He's got the arm to make every throw on the field, a quick release, and the touch to deliver some really nice es over an underneath defender. His off-script playmaking, demonstrated with a few highlight-reel throws this year at Michigan, provides some intriguing upside. But the accuracy comes and goes, particularly in the deeper areas. It seems like the inconsistency is a result of some sloppy footwork. His feet tend to get away from him when he's dealing with pressure in the pocket, too. Could a few years of development in the NFL give him a chance to clean up these issues and make the most of his abilities? It's probably a risk worth taking. There's potential for him to become a starter if he can find a way for the highs to become the norm.
