The saga of Shedeur Sanders dominated discussions during the NFL draft, but Quinn Ewers, the Texas Longhorns quarterback, faced a notable slide as well, being selected 231st overall in the seventh round by the Miami Dolphins. Despite his successful college career, including two College Football Playoff appearances, questions arise about Ewers’ readiness for the NFL and whether he would have been better served entering the transfer portal to potentially secure a more lucrative NIL deal. Ultimately, Ewers was drafted as the 13th quarterback, raising concerns about his decision-making process leading up to the draft.
