Quinn Ewers has already lived a lifetime with high expectations. He was the best quarterback in his hometown of Southlake. He was the best in the state. He was the best in the nation according to most recruiting services. He was the prize recruit at Ohio State and the savior at Texas. But after falling to the seventh round of the NFL Draft, for the first time in his life, the expectations for Ewers are low.
But Ewers is smashing expectations so far in Miami Dolphins camp. Daily reports out of Miami have praised Ewers so far. Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel called Ewers “the star” of Miami’s third day of practice. The Southlake native is reminding everyone how he got Texas to the semifinals of the college football playoff two years in a row.
“Quarterback Quinn Ewers had a nice sideline throw to wide receiver Andrew Armstrong. Ewers later had a nice throw to wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. Later Ewers stepped up in the pocket to avoid pressure and completed a pass to tight end Tanner Conner. Through OTAs, minicamp and training camp, Ewers has seemed to learn quickly and not make the same mistake twice.” – Chis Perkins of South Florida Sun Sentinel
A lot of the media covering the Dolphins questioned the selection of Ewers as a throwaway pick or a flyer to see if he would stick. Now he’s being compared to Brock Purdy, who was the last pick in the NFL Draft and went on to lead the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl.
