Quinn Ewers Transitions to Miami Dolphins After Troubling End at Texas
Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers faced a disappointing conclusion to his collegiate career, falling to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the semi-finals while visibly struggling with an injury. In a revealing interview with ex-NFL backup quarterback Kurt Benkert, Ewers disclosed that he had been battling a grade three ankle sprain—an injury severe enough that playing football is generally inadvisable.
This injury hampered Ewers’ performance as he ended his Texas tenure, likely impacting his draft stock, which saw him selected by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round. Fans noticed a less agile Ewers on the field, a stark contrast to his usual dynamic playstyle.
Now back to health, Ewers is ready to embark on his professional journey with the Dolphins. His upcoming months will be pivotal for his development, particularly after he recently gained attention on Jon Gruden’s QB Class for his football acumen and throwing skills.
Ewers has already donned his Dolphins jersey, sporting No. 14, and attended the NFL Players Association Rookie Premiere event, marking a new beginning with Miami under head coach Mike McDaniel. His performance in training camp and pre-season will be closely monitored, particularly regarding potential playing opportunities behind star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
As transition periods often become defining moments, fans will be eager to see how Ewers acclimates to the NFL and whether he can demonstrate the potential that led to his selection. The coming weeks will reveal if he can reclaim his former agility and standout status in a new environment.
