Quinn Ewers Is A Can’t-Miss Top 2025 NFL Draft Prospect
Quinn Ewers is widely regarded as the top quarterback in the prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. He would have been one of the first signal-callers selected in this year’s draft, but Ewers decided to return to Texas for another year of college.
Ewers is considered one of the big three QB prospects, along with Georgia’s Carson Beck and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. Ewers had a career year in 2023 and led Texas to the College Football Playoff, where they fell to the Washington Huskies in the Sugar Bowl.
