After generating considerable buzz during training camp, former Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers had a chance to prove himself in live NFL action, but his preseason debut with the Miami Dolphins fell flat.
Drafted in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Ewers entered camp with low expectations due to his injury history. However, his early performance during Dolphins practices quickly changed that narrative.

Ewers impressed coaches and analysts with his arm strength, anticipation, and comfort in Miami’s system. Several training camp sessions listed him among the top performers, and there was growing speculation that he might overtake Zach Wilson as the backup to starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
But when the lights came on, things didn’t go according to script.
Ewers struggles to find rhythm against the Bears
Ewers took the field in the second half of Miami’s preseason opener against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. While he managed a few highlight-worthy throws, some of which were dropped by receivers, his overall performance was marred by inconsistency and costly mistakes.
The rookie completed just 5 of 18 pass attempts, totaling 91 yards. More concerning, he fumbled twice, one deep in Miami territory and another on a key fourth-quarter drive. Though the game ended in a 24-24 tie, Ewers’ individual performance raised questions about his readiness for NFL competition.
While nerves may have played a role, Ewers struggled with decision-making and pocket awareness, two crucial areas for any quarterback hoping to earn a roster spot. On a few occasions, he held onto the ball too long, resulting in pressure and negative plays. Timing and mechanics also appeared off, which limited the offense’s ability to sustain drives during his time under center.
Despite the rocky start, Ewers did show flashes of the talent that made him a top college prospect. He led a late drive that set up the game-tying field goal and showed resilience after early setbacks. Still, those moments were overshadowed by turnovers and missed opportunities.
With two preseason games remaining, against the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars, the pressure is on. Ewers must show significant improvement if he hopes to beat out Wilson and secure a spot as the Dolphins’ primary backup.
The Dolphins staff still believes in his upside, but camp hype only goes so far. The next two weeks will be critical for Ewers as he tries to turn potential into performance, and earn his place in the NFL.

Fantasy Football Week 6 Start ‘Em & Sit ‘Em Quarterbacks: Stafford stays red-hot against banged-up Ravens
Imagn Images I'm excited to see what Caleb Williams and the Bears offense looks like coming off the bye in Week 5. I hope that Williams continues to play well and can remain a must-start Fantasy quarterback in all leagues.Now, the last time we saw Williams, he had his worst Fantasy outing of the season in Week 4 at Las Vegas with 13.8 points, which snapped a three-game streak where he scored at least 20.9 points. But he should get back on track this week against the Commanders, who have allowed three of the past four quarterbacks to score at least 22.7 Fantasy points. Last year, Williams faced Washington in Week 8 and scored just 9.9 Fantasy points in the game where the Bears lost on a Hail Mary. Williams will be much better in the rematch this week and has […]
