The Miami Dolphins selected Texas QB Quinn Ewers with the 231st pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. Ewers boasted one of the highest recruiting grades ever as a five-star QB. He committed to Ohio State for pure NIL reasons before transferring back home to Texas a year later. A left clavicle sprain hindered his 2022 season, but he turned in a strong 2023. Ewers threw for 3,479 yards, 22 TDs, and six INTs on a 69.0% completion rate and 8.8 yards per attempt. He ranked 12th among 125 qualifying QBs in Pro Football Focus passing grade. Ewers took a step back in 2024, though, regressing in passing yards per game, completion rate (65.8%), yards per attempt (7.8), and PFF grade (69th). Ewers highs are some of the highest in this QB class, but he makes too many boneheaded decisions. And he won’t add much value with his legs. Ewers averaged just 6.4 rushing yards per game last year and 9.6 for his career. His lengthy injury history is also worth noting: sports-hernia surgery (2020), sprained left clavicle (2022), right AC joint sprain (2023), high-ankle sprain (2024), and strained oblique (2024). Ewers’ arm talent offers plenty of upside, but he has not shown that he can be a full-time NFL starter without development.
Ewers injuries over the past few seasons may caused his drop in the NFL Draft.
He was a five-star recruit out of HS and has the arm talent to be an NFL QB.
But erratic accuracy, decisions and medical all make him unlikely to crack a lineup.
The Dolphins are a good team for Ewers with QB Zach Wilson as the primary back-up.
They don't currently have any other QBs on the roster.
If Tua suffers another concussion or injury (and Wilson falters) then Ewers could get a shot to start at some point.
He still isn't worth a stash being a seventh-round pick.
Ashton Jeanty projects as the RB1 in 2025. But is he an elite dynasty prospect? Let's dig into his film and profile to find out.
