Dolphins Draft Texas QB Quinn Ewers in Seventh

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 231st overall pick in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, making him the 13th Longhorn drafted this year and setting a program record in the modern draft era. Ewers, a former No. 1 national recruit, led Texas to back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances and finished his college career with 9,128 passing yards, 68 touchdowns, and a 27-9 record as a starter. Despite his strong college performance, Ewers fell to the seventh round due to recurring injuries and inconsistency, having missed games every season at Texas. He turned down a significant transfer offer and made substantial NIL earnings before declaring for the draft. The Dolphins see Ewers as a low-risk, high-upside pick who could develop into a starter or provide depth behind Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson. His selection underscores both his potential and the unpredictability of NFL draft evaluations.
