The\u00a0M<\/a>iami Dolphins\u00a0selected\u00a0Texas Longhorns\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Quinn Ewers\u00a0with the 231st pick in the seventh round of the 2025\u00a0NFL Draft. His selection in the seventh round was a surprise, as he and many others believed he could’ve gone earlier in the draft.<\/p>\n

In an article from Todd Archer of ESPN, the details surrounding Ewers’ draft fall were delved into. Ewers hadn’t been a first-rounder or second-rounder in most\u00a0NFL\u00a0circles, but his fall into the seventh was a surprise.<\/p>\n

Leading up to the draft, Ewers was confident in his ability and strongly believed he was ready for the NFL.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to continue on my career path, and I know I’m ready for the NFL,”\u00a0Ewers said.\u00a0“I think my game fits the NFL better than it does in college, honestly, I’m ready for the next step.”<\/p>\n

Ewers will be the Dolphins’ backup quarterback, sitting behind\u00a0Tua Tagovailoa\u00a0and Zach Wilson. He’ll likely get a chance to compete for the second-string quarterback spot during the preseason.<\/p>\n

His fit in the Mike McDaniel offense is great, and of all the places he could’ve gone, Miami is at the top of the list for schematic fits.<\/p>\n

Ewers also acknowledged how great a fit Miami is for him.<\/p>\n

“But I’m glad that I ended up where I ended up,”\u00a0Ewers added. “To go as late as I did, I’m glad it’s a good spot.”<\/p>\n

Being drafted was bittersweet for Ewers. He expected to get picked much earlier in the draft, and the fall stung. However, Ewers enters the NFL with a positive outlook on his situation.<\/p>\n

“Maybe not as excited, but it’s the same opportunity that every guy that was drafted in front of me is getting.”<\/p>\n

Ewers is putting the draft behind him. He believes the Dolphins are a great fit for him and is confident in his NFL readiness.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins will get their first look at Ewers in a Dolphins uniform during rookie minicamp, which starts on May 9th and runs to May 11th.<\/p>\n
