In 36 games with Texas, Ewers recorded over 9,000 passing yards with 68 touchdowns and 24 interceptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">While he&#8217;s not a physically imposing quarterback at 6&#8217;2, 214 pounds, his arm talent made him a coveted player in the collegiate ranks and could make him a worthwhile developmental talent in Miami.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<div id=\"ad-slot-7103-SMG_DolphinsWire_OO-native-article_link-sports-nfl-4-ac1\" class=\"gnt_x_sl gnt_x_al\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"llx\" data-google-query-id=\"CIWU_Jua94wDFYaH6QUd1goIFw\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_7103\/SMG_DolphinsWire_OO\/native-article_link\/sports\/nfl_0__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_7103\/SMG_DolphinsWire_OO\/native-article_link\/sports\/nfl_0\" class=\"gnt_x_sl_gpt_if\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_7103\/SMG_DolphinsWire_OO\/native-article_link\/sports\/nfl_0\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"3\" data-integralas-id-c16b1787-fd43-07e5-17a4-7b6d6d33ebd7=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Dolphins previously spent three seasons trying to build 2022 seventh-round pick Skylar Thompson into a capable backup. But after he struggled to do much in the lineup in 2024, the team moved on and signed former\u00a0Jets\u00a0and\u00a0Broncos\u00a0quarterback Zach Wilson to be the team&#8217;s backup in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It&#8217;s unlikely that Ewers will see the field early in his career with the Dolphins. But if he shows enough promise after a year in the team&#8217;s offensive system, Ewers could potentially supplant Wilson as the team&#8217;s much cheaper backup in 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0picked former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL draft with the No. 231 overall selection.
