Overview
Coming out of high school, Quinn Ewers was THE premier quarterback talent. Although he’s had a pretty successful college career, Ewers was never able to get over the hump and into the CFB National Championship. With Arch Manning now taking the reigns in Austin, Ewers will look to ascend to the NFL ranks.
Watching Ewers play, you wouldn’t necessarily think that he was one of the highest-recruited quarterbacks coming out of high school. Although there’s plenty he does well, most of it comes from his experience. Overall, his arm strength is just okay, with his footballs not possessing much zip to them. He won’t beat you with his athleticism; his footwork feels choppy and rushed. And lastly, his relatively low release point leads to more batted footballs than liked. In the past, we’ve seen QBs such as Justin Herbert and Drake Maye succeed with low releases. However, these guys are listed at 6’6” and 6’4”; two and four inches taller than Ewers.
Still, with his experience, Ewers gives his team a chance. He isn’t one of those 8th-year seniors we’re starting to see nowadays, but you wouldn’t guess it from how he plays. He might not have the arm talent, but he delivers an on-time and accurate football. When escaping the pocket and extending plays, he does a great job at keeping his eyes downfield to survey for open receivers. He’s pretty safe with the ball as he’s willing to throw balls away or in the dirt if a play isn’t there. In the passing game, Ewers is very good at anticipating openings in a defense. And while his athleticism and arm talent are anything to brag about, Ewers can also make some awkward throws.
My Two Cents
Ewers has been a fine player throughout his college career. But he isn’t the player many thought he’d be coming out of high school. Still, he could be valued by a team looking to add some youthful depth within their QB room. However, don’t wait to pounce on this prospect, as he’ll likely be a Day 2 selection.
