Quinn Ewers 2025 NFL Draft Profile

Quinn Ewers 2025 NFL Draft Profile

You should know going into this one, I’m much higher than the consensus on Quinn Ewers and you likely will be too after reading this. The Texas signal caller has real talent and is being borderline disrespected throughout this process. Let’s get to the 2025 NFL Draft profile on Ewers!

Ewers, 22, was viewed as a generational quarterback prospect coming out of high school. He was also ranked as the number one player in the country during the 2021 cycle. In terms of recruiting, we’re looking at one of the highest recruited players in the history of the sport.

The Texas quarterback didn’t exactly live up to that status, but it was also a strange path. Mostly an unnecessary path that caused a rollercoaster effect. Ewers reclassified high school early, so when he first showed up at Ohio State, he was far younger than most players coming out of high school. Ewers didn’t see playing time at Ohio State because an older guy by the name of CJ Stroud was there. Once it became clear the Buckeyes wanted to stick with Stroud, Ewers transferred back to his home state of Texas to play for the Longhorns.

The Southlake, Texas, native was a three year starter for the Longhorns. Without trying to sound like a Wikipedia page, this is basically what you’re looking at. Redshirt freshman year, he flashes big time skill. Texas almost upset Alabama and would have if Ewers hadn’t left the game with an injury off a mega hit by Dallas Turner. Hudson Card, whom we already covered, took over for the injured Ewers. He finished the season with a 15-6 TD to INT ratio, but never looked quite right once he came back from that Alabama hit. His completion percentage was below 60%, too.

The next year, Ewers takes a step forward. He beat Alabama in that revenge game when he played his tail off. The completion rate rose to 69%. The TD to INT ratio went up to 22-6. However, he suffered another shoulder injury, and if you really watched him, the shaky footwork was a problem. The good included 19 straight completions against Oklahoma, but mistakes led to a loss, and helped lead Texas to a Big 12 crown. The playoff performance against Washington wasn’t ideal.

That leads us to 2024 and all of these stock notes you can find at the top of the page. There is plenty at your disposal to peruse through. The 6-foot-2, 214 signal caller kept the starting job over Arch Manning for 99% of the season minus one moment against Georgia. For the most part, Ewers played well. The game against Michigan was a clinic. The only problem was it was the last time he was healthy. He tore his oblique and suffered a bad ankle injury in that game. Despite being very injured from Week 2 on, Ewers posted a 31-12 TD to INT ratio at nearly 66% while Texas moved to SEC play. His season also included having big balls to lift the team in a clutch win over Arizona State, but the season ended with Ohio State’s roster being too strong.

The guy clearly has talent. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either blind or doesn’t pay attention. The Combine performance checked a lot of boxes for me. I thought he looked very good there. Guy throws a nice ball. Now, there is a hint of Uncle Rico in everything he does, but the footwork keeps getting better. If you’re going to ding the guy, it’s from the standpoint that he needs to stop getting hurt every single year. Maybe that’s something that continues at the next level. If it’s not, the team that drafts him is getting a steal.

The mobility is there. It’s Trevor Lawrence running ability. It wasn’t as good this year, but having a torn oblique will do that to you. Guy can definitely run. Can do all the off platform and arm angle cheese. There’s just too many times where he makes a poor decision reading the coverage wrong, and the footwork creates a lot of those errors in ball placement.

I have Quinn Ewers as QB3 in this draft and a top of the second round type of grade (I’m tempted to make him QB2 if we’re being honest). He’s not enough of a surefire thing to use a top of the first round pick on, but there is clearly talent here, and a good organization should be able to turn this player into a very high end starter with proper development and time.
