The 2024 NFL Draft has come and gone, leaving football enthusiasts buzzing about the record-breaking six quarterbacks selected in the first round. However, despite this quarterback frenzy, some teams are still in search of their franchise signal-caller. Could the solution be found in Austin, Texas, in the form of Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers?
Ewers, heading into his third year as the Texas Longhorns' starting quarterback, is poised to make waves both on the field and in NFL draft conversations. Fresh off a Big 12 title and a College Football Playoff appearance, Ewers has opted to return for another season, determined to elevate his game and bolster his draft stock.
Many anticipated Ewers testing the NFL waters this year, but his decision to stay signals his commitment to further development. This choice not only benefits Texas as they eye contention for the national title but also positions Ewers favorably against his quarterback counterparts in the draft class.
Who are the other favorites for top spot?
DraftKings has already released odds for the coveted No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and Ewers finds himself tied for the second-best odds alongside Georgia's Carson Beck. Only Shedeur Sanders of Colorado edges them out with the best odds. Ewers and Beck both stand at +300, while Sanders boasts a +100 chance of being the top pick.
Should Ewers clinch the No. 1 spot, he would an elite group of Longhorns, becoming just the fourth in history and the first since 1982 to achieve this feat.
As the college football season unfolds, all eyes will be on Ewers as he strives to solidify his status as a top NFL prospect. With his talent, determination, and the backing of the Texas faithful, Quinn Ewers may very well find himself leading an NFL franchise come 2025.
