Sarkisian coached Ewers for the past few seasons at Texas, helping develop the quarterback into one of the top QBs available in the 2025 NFL Draft. With Arch Manning expected to take over as starting QB of the Longhorns, Ewers originally expressed his desire to return to college football next year and potentially transfer to a different school, however, ultimately decided to declare for the NFL Draft in the end.
Quinn Ewers 2025 NFL Draft Projection
This past campaign, Ewers was great for the Longhorns and was a major reason behind the program advancing to the College Football Playoffs semi-final. Though the program lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes in that game, Ewers showcased his strong clutch play and impressive composure in the pocket. Ewers finished the campaign with 3,472 passing yards, 33 total touchdowns, and 12 interceptions on the year for Texas.
In PFSN’s latest 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Ewers was selected No. 100 overall by the Los Angeles Rams.
“Whatever happens this offseason, the Rams need to be thinking about their future at quarterback. Whether it is Matthew Stafford or Jimmy Garoppolo, there needs to be someone to develop other than Stetson Bennett.
Quinn Ewers was once viewed as a potential first-round pick, so he certainly has the pedigree to be a future NFL starter. He commands the field with exceptional arm talent and the ability to dissect defenses under any conditions. He thrives under pressure and attacks every level of the field. Unfortunately, injury concerns and boundary consistency have capped his upside, but there is certainly room for growth if he can stay healthy.”
