The Quinn Ewers Experience
7th Round Draft Pick and former Texas Quarterback is lighting up Dolphins training camp.
Training camp is here, and I’m thrilled to start diving into how it’s going for our former Longhorns! Naturally, we have to start with an update on the most important and polarizing position: The Quarterback.
When Quinn Ewers fell to the 7th round, the jaws of every Texas fan literally hit the floor. It was the shock of the draft for me, even more-so than the Shedeur slide (which didn’t surprise anyone paying attention to the pre-draft reporting around Sanders). While Texas fans were left dazed and confused as to how he could possibly fall so far, we also began crunching the numbers of how likely it is for a 7th rounder to make an NFL roster (thank you Brock Purdy for giving us hope).
Fortunately for Quinn, he fell to the best situation for him. Mike McDaniel’s scheme is similar to Sark’s, which likely has given Ewers an advantage on learning the playbook to second-string Quarterback Zach Wilson. They are both newcomers to the Dolphins, and given Tua’s injury history, Miami will likely carry 3 quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Another huge checkmark on the “Yes” column of every Texas fan’s “Will He Make the Roster?” list.
Ewers put on 15 pounds to prepare for the NFL Draft, and has fortunately kept most of it on, reporting for training camp at 209 pounds (Quinn’s latest measurables). He also secured a brand partnership with a Stem Cell Treatment Center called Auragens in Panama…an alternative treatment he did not have access to in college.
So far, it looks like he could be Auragens’ best endorsement ever if he can stay healthy, because Quinn has flashed at training camp. While there is some reporting of up-and-down play where Ewers “looks like a 7th round draft pick” (Alex Dunlap, Orangebloods), the twittersphere is all aboard the Quinntavious Train. Some of my favorite Dolphins training camp tweets about his stellar Friday and Saturday performances:
I don’t know about you, but I’m fully locked in to the Quinn Ewers experience once again. What can I say—the ups and downs make the ride more fun! As long as Quinn keeps flashing in camp and learning the playbook, he should be in great shape to make the team. We just need to pray the Football Gods keep him healthy.
You can watch Quinn in his preseason debut on August 10th when the Miami Dolphins face the Chicago Bears. Yup…Quinn Ewers vs Caleb Williams, Let’s Go!
