The Miami Dolphins selected former Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers in the seventh round with the No. 231 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The former No. 1 overall recruit saw his final season of college football marred by injury, as he battled through an oblique issue, and also dealt with a severe high-ankle sprain.

Arch Manning is set to take over the starting quarterback role for the Texas Longhorns in the upcoming season. He will replace Quinn Ewers, who joined the NFL's Miami Dolphins in this year's draft.

Ewers, who spent three seasons as Texas’ starter, played a key role in elevating the Longhorns before making the jump to the pros. His departure has now ushered in the a new era in Austin. The grandson of Saints legend Archie Manning waited patiently behind Ewers for two years before stepping into the spotlight as the program’s new leader.

On Saturday, in a preseason game against the Detroit Lions, Ewers put himself on the board with his first career NFL touchdown pass. It came with just over 4-and-a-half minutes played in the 3rd quarter, as the former Texas QB connected with Theo Wease Jr. as the Dolphins tied the game at 14.

Expectations are low for a seventh round draft pick. But Quinn Ewers is breaking through all expectations at Miami Dolphins training camp.

Ewers had a rather forgettable game for Miami against the Chicago Bears, although the game ended up a draw 24-24. The former Longhorns QB failed to score a touchdown and struggled to connect with his teammates, as highlighted by his 5-of-18 pass completion.

Zach Wilson, who was a member of Gang Green from 2021-23, had an impressive first half for the Dolphins on Saturday, helping them beat the Lions 24-17 in their second preseason game.
