The Miami Dolphins have made a strategic move by selecting Quinn Ewers in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, marking a new chapter for the team's quarterback lineup. Ewers, once the top high school recruit, found his way to Miami after an eventful collegiate journey, beginning at Texas, a brief stint at Ohio State, and back to Texas where he amassed impressive stats—over 9,000 passing yards and 68 touchdowns across three seasons. Despite being projected as a first-round pick before the draft, injuries and inconsistent performances tempered expectations.

With Tua Tagovailoa as the starter and a lineup that has seen varied backups, Ewers arrives as a developmental project, ideally suited for Miami's system, which aligns closely with the one he experienced at Texas. Ewers has expressed excitement about this opportunity, and Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel believes the familiarity with offensive concepts will accelerate Ewers' learning curve. This strategy could solidify the Dolphins' future at quarterback, potentially paving the way for Ewers to rise quickly within the ranks.
