The buzz around University of Texas signal-caller Quinn Ewers has certainly been gaining traction, even if he isn’t topping the charts in this year’s group of NFL quarterback prospects. His performance has been strong enough, however, to catch the eyes of several NFL scouts who see potential in his game.
With the NFL scouting combine kicking off this Thursday in Indianapolis, Ewers has already lined up formal discussions with three prominent teams: the Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Tennessee Titans. This shows he’s on their radar, despite mixed perceptions about his draft status.
A recent tweet from MLFootball highlighted this development, noting Ewers’ impressive track record with Texas. Over his college tenure, he led the team to impressive feats, including two consecutive College Football Playoff berths and clinching the 2023 Big 12 Championship. His standout performance during the Big 12 title game, where he threw for a record 452 yards and matched the highest number of touchdown passes in such games, further solidified his reputation as a formidable player.
In his senior year, Ewers managed to rack up 3,472 passing yards and 31 touchdowns, driving Texas to a 13-3 finish. Yet, whispers about potential drawbacks linger – with doubts cast over his arm strength, command in the pocket, and consistency on the field.
The Colts and Titans, both in search of a solid starting quarterback, will surely be considering Ewers seriously. Meanwhile, the Jaguars face a dilemma with Trevor Lawrence, having invested a hefty $275 million contract over five years despite his inconsistent Pro Bowl-level performances.
With the Titans holding the coveted No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming April draft, there’s chatter and speculation about whether they might use it to secure Ewers, ushering a new era into their quarterback ranks.
