Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is seemingly a lock to be a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
ESPN released its updated way-too-early 2025 NFL Mock Draft on Tuesday, and the site thinks the New Orleans Saints will selectNew Orleans selected former Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler in the fifth round this past April, but adding Ewers to the mix would likely place the Texas star into the starting role as a rookie with Derek Carr’s future also uncertain. Of course, this remains a huge hypothetical, with a full college and NFL season still yet to be played.

Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports / Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports With a potential Heisman-worthy season, Ewers could boost his draft stock even higher than No. 10 overall. Regardless, barring a major injury or decline in play, he seems all but guaranteed to go off the board in the first round."Ewers has talent worthy of a first-overall pick heading into his third season as a starter at Texas. At 21 years old, he has to cut down on poor decisions during games, but his accuracy, mobility and arm strength are that of a future NFL starter.
“We’re going to need his leadership,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said of Ewers on National Signing Day. “We’ve got some new faces on the offensive side of the ball, especially at the skill positions, where his leadership is going to be very important.” This past season, Ewers went 272 of 394 passing for 3,479 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions while adding five rushing touchdowns as the Longhorns won the Big 12 and clinched a CFP berth with a 12-1 record. Ewers also missed two games due to injury.Matt Galatzan is the Publisher of LonghornsCountry.com, AllAggies.com, and the Managing Editor of BuckeyesNow.com and TheGroveReport.com He is also the Editor-In-Chief of RamDigest.com and TexansDaily.com.
