Quinn Ewers Declares for NFL Draft

Quinn Ewers, the University of Texas quarterback, has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, marking the end of his college football career. Despite rumors of a lucrative $6 million NIL deal from an unnamed school, Ewers announced his decision through social media, reflecting on his time at Texas with gratitude. Over his three seasons, he achieved a record of 27-9 and led the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff semifinals twice but faced criticism for an inconsistent performance, including a career-high 31 touchdowns and doubling his interceptions to 12 in his final season. As Ewers steps into the NFL, he leaves behind a promising future for Arch Manning, who is set to take over as Texas' starting quarterback. Projections suggest Ewers could be a day-two pick in the upcoming draft, highlighting the mixed opinions on his readiness for the professional level. His decision has sparked discussions about the impact of NIL deals on player choices in college football.
