An NFL Draft invitation is extended to a Texas Longhorns standout.

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, Texas Longhorns’ quarterback Quinn Ewers has garnered significant attention from NFL teams. Ewers, who declared for the draft earlier this year, has been actively engaging with prospective teams, including a scheduled visit with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Quinn Ewers’ Collegiate Career and Draft Prospects

Quinn Ewers transferred to the University of Texas from Ohio State and quickly established himself as a pivotal player for the Longhorns. Over his tenure, he amassed over 9,000 passing yards and 68 touchdowns, leading Texas to a Big 12 title and consecutive appearances in the national semifinals.

Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 214 pounds, Ewers is recognized for his arm strength and ability to make precise throws under pressure. Analysts have noted his proficiency in executing plays outside the pocket, with Pro Football Focus highlighting his 89.2 passing grade on scramble drills, ranking him fifth in the FBS.

However, Ewers has areas requiring development, such as pocket presence and footwork. His tendency to leave clean pockets prematurely led to a notable number of quarterback-faulted pressures during the 2024 season.

Engagement with NFL Teams

In preparation for the draft, Ewers has been meeting with various NFL teams to discuss potential roles and showcase his skills. A notable engagement includes his scheduled visit with the Las Vegas Raiders, who hold the 6th and 37th picks in the draft. The Raiders have shown interest in bolstering their quarterback options, and Ewers’ visit indicates mutual interest.

Texas Longhorns’ Representation in the 2025 NFL Draft

Ewers is among a record 14 Texas Longhorns players invited to the 2025 NFL Combine, underscoring the program’s strength and the caliber of talent entering the draft. Other notable Longhorns prospects include offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., defensive back Jahdae Barron, and tight end Gunnar Helm.
