For Quinn Ewers, heading to the NFL was a dream of a lifetime. One far more favorable than short term money gain at the college NIL level.

On Saturday, his college story ended with the 231st pick of the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He was 14th out of 14 quarterbacks selected, behind even FCS quarterbacks Tommy Mellott and Cam Miller. It was not the finish anyone expected for one of the most high-profile quarterback recruits in the history of the sport.

Texas QB Quinn Ewers came into the 2025 NFL Draft needing to be selected in the top four rounds. Being a seventh-round pick by the Miami Dolphins (No. 231 overall) was a costly mistake for the Longhorns passer.
