    ‘Quinn Ewers Is Going To Be an Interesting Name To Watch:’ NFL Insider Makes Huge Draft Prediction for Texas QB

    Ahead of the 2024 college football season, many pundits and scouts were looking toward Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers as one of the top players on the gridiron.

    However, based on his mixed season with the Longhorns, mostly due to injuries, the signal-caller saw his rating of 158.6 in 2023 drop to 149.0 this past campaign, according to ESPN.

    Matt Miller Makes Draft Prediction for Quinn Ewers

    Nevertheless, the Longhorns made it to the College Football Playoff semifinals, with Ewers making big plays during important moments in their run. In their 24-14 loss to Ohio State, he had 23 completions and passed for 283 yards and two touchdowns.

    With this in mind, Ewers will continue to hone his craft to improve his draft position this offseason, beginning with the Senior Bowl (a showcase for top prospects at the end of their eligibility and for early entrants).

    NFL analyst Matt Miller is also confident in the quarterback, as he said:

    “I’ll say the name to watch through the pre-draft process – someone always rises – Texas’ Quinn Ewers. He did not have the year he wanted. There was the oblique injury, the ankle injury. That certainly affected him. But when you talk to scouts, they talk about, who’s a clean prospect that could rise throughout this process? Ewers was, [at] one time, one of the highest-rated high school prospects of all time.

    “Now, did the career go at Texas like he wanted? Maybe not statistically, but they were in the College Football playoff semifinals in back-to-back years. Ewers is going to be an interesting name to watch. We know there was some inconsistency there. But the tools that made him that five-star prep player are certainly still there.” [H/T On3]

    Ewers sustained an oblique injury early in the season that kept him out for more than two games. He also hurt his ankle in the Week 13 contest against Kentucky. By the time he played against Texas A&M in Week 14, he was cleared to play but wasn’t fully healthy. Even though he had a high-ankle sprain, Ewers helped Texas win 17-7, throwing for 218 yards and one touchdown.

    Ewers finished his 2024 campaign with 3,472 yards with a 65.8% completion rate and 31 touchdowns. Meanwhile, Pro Football Network’s latest 7-Round mock draft projects the QB to be picked at No. 106 by the New York Jets, who posted a 5-12 record during the 2024 season and finished second to last in the AFC East.
