Initially the No.1 recruit in the class of 2021, Ewers began his college football career playing for Ohio State, before transferring to Texas after just a single year. He led the Longhorns to back-to-back College Football appearances in 2023 and 2024, and is known for his strong arm, quick release, and ability to perform under pressure, Ewers threw for 9128 yards, 68 touchdowns, in his college football career.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With the No. 231 overall pick in the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLDraft?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@NFLDraft<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MiamiDolphins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@MiamiDolphins<\/a> select Quinn Ewers.<br><br>&#128250;: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NFLDraft?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#NFLDraft<\/a> on NFLN\/ESPN\/ABC<br>&#128241;: Stream on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLPlus?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@NFLPlus<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1Wd4GWVS8W\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/1Wd4GWVS8W<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NFL (@NFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL\/status\/1916252981491597531?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 26, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>In 2025, Ewers declared for the NFL Draft, and landed with the Miami Dolphins as the 231st overall pick, in the seventh round, which has sparked discussions about his financial decisions and NFL potential.

The amount is significantly less than the potential $8 million dollars he could have earned by entering the NCAA Transfer Portal for his final college season. <\/p><p>With Arch Manning poised to take over at Texas, Ewers faced a difficult decision between transferring to another program or going pro. Despite his high valuation as a top college athlete, his late-round draft selection means he&rsquo;ll earn just under $1 million with Miami annually. It is a notable financial gap compared to the NIL deals he could have signed, that is unless he can sign a bigger NFL contract in the future, which could be way more, given that he plays well in the NFL.<\/p><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DI9JioNRIlU\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
