The Miami Dolphins made an intriguing addition to their roster during the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers with the 231st overall pick. Ewers, who joins a quarterback depth chart led by starter Tua Tagovailoa and backup Zach Wilson, is a high-upside prospect whose collegiate journey has been nothing short of eventful.
Ewers began his college career as the No. 2 overall recruit in the nation, initially enrolling at Ohio State before transferring to Texas. Over three seasons with the Longhorns, Ewers delivered stellar performances, throwing for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns, and completing 64.9% of his passes. His leadership steered Texas to their first two College Football Playoff appearances, while he also etched his name in the program’s record books as their all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns.
Shedeur Sanders does not evoke strong emotions in the Browns’ draft room
However, Ewers’ collegiate career was not without challenges. His 2024 season was marred by an oblique tear and a high ankle sprain, injuries that limited his availability and impacted his play. Despite being fully healthy for only three games that season, Ewers demonstrated remarkable resilience, continuing to contribute to the team’s success. Reflecting on these struggles at the NFL scouting combine, Ewers emphasized the character and mental toughness he developed through adversity, traits that NFL teams undoubtedly took note of.
A backup plan, perhaps?
For the Dolphins, drafting Ewers represents a low-risk, high-reward move. With Tagovailoa firmly established as the starter and Wilson providing depth, Ewers will have the opportunity to develop in a supportive environment without immediate pressure to perform. His impressive arm talent, combined with the lessons learned through adversity, could make him a valuable asset for Miami in the long run.
Ewers’ journey from a highly touted high school recruit to a seventh-round NFL draft pick highlights the unpredictability of football careers. Despite the setbacks, his perseverance and potential make him a compelling prospect as he transitions to the professional level. The Dolphins’ coaching staff will now look to harness his raw talent and guide him toward fulfilling his potential.
As Ewers prepares for the next chapter in his football career, Dolphins fans are eager to see how the young quarterback evolves within the team’s system. While his path to NFL success may take time, his college accomplishments and resilience suggest he has the tools to make an impact in Miami.

Trenér Zlína po senzaci v Edenu: Slavii jsme sebrali sebevědomí
I když senzační. Zlín jako nováček nejvyšší soutěže opakovaně dokazuje, že udělal velký progres. Stále se drží v horní polovině tabulky. Před reprezentační přestávkou dokázal zvítězit 1:0 v Plzni a teď sebral body i obhájcům titulu.Byl triumf na Viktorii určitým návodem, jak zaskočit favorita?Nejde jen o utkání v Plzni. Třeba i doma s Baníkem, kdy jsme remizovali 1:1 a soupeře nepustili téměř do ničeho. To je náš úkol, brát soupeřům vítr z plachet. Nechci ale vůbec polemizovat o kvalitě naší a Slavie. My máme také velmi dobré kluky. Fotbalisty a bojovníky. Ale těžko se to srovnává.Každopádně z duelů v Plzni a na Slavii máte jako nováček čtyři body.Kdyby mi to někdo řekl předem, odvětil bych mu, že se asi zbláznil. Nikdo to nečekal. Ani my. Vždy je potřeba mít i dávku štěstí, musí fungovat celý tým. Pokud jen někdo na chvíli vypadne, soupeř trestá. Čtyř bodů si strašně vážím, ale nepřeceňuji je. Kluci mají obrovskou radost, užívám si to […]
