Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers declared his entrance into the 2025 NFL Draft after he achieved remarkable success in his junior year.
Some fans supported his decision while others criticized it. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian wasn’t having any of it. He readily came to Ewers’ defense, stating that he stands firmly with his choice.
Steve Sarkisian Defends Quinn Ewers’ NFL Draft Move Amid Criticism
Sarkisian defended his former quarterback, Ewers, after the Miami Dolphins selected him in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Sarkisian rebuffed all doubts about Ewers’ decision to go pro instead of remaining in college to accept NCAA benefits or play his senior year.
Sarkisian expressed disappointment about Ewers’ late selection in the NFL Draft, saying, “All of us wish he had gotten drafted higher. But at the end of the day, if I could have picked a place that I think is a great fit for him, I think Miami is a great fit.”
Challenging the Critics
Sarkisian made a forceful statement about the critics who questioned Ewers’ draft decision. He mentioned that players are being talked about negatively and criticized for every decision they make. However, no player should be judged harshly for deciding their future.
According to Sarkisian, the similarities between the Dolphins’ offensive structure and what Ewers played in Texas create a clear path for his development into an NFL quarterback.
It is true that Ewers still has a lot to learn from Mike McDaniel, but he has the potential to succeed. The Dolphins’ offensive firepower gives Ewers a chance to play and the potential for growth in their system. Being on the team would provide Ewersith ample opportunities to earn a starting role, though he must make himself capable through intensive training.
Constructive criticism has emerged concerning his collegiate football experience because of his deep passing accuracy and past injuries. However, there is a strong confidence that Mike McDaniel is the right coach to develop Ewers’ game and maximize his potential.
