Shedeur Sanders already has said he won't throw at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week, and Cam Ward hasn't committed. But Quinn Ewers, the former Texas quarterback looking to move up the draft board, is in, NFL Network reported Tuesday.
A strained oblique suffered early in the 2024 campaign left Ewers at less than 100 percent throughout the season, and with that behind him, he apparently is eager to take a shot at showing NFL scouts and executives just what he can do.
NFL Network reported that he's been working with former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy as he prepares for the combine. Draft experts currently peg Ewers as a mid- to late-second round pick.
ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr., in his latest list of top quarterbacks in the draft, listed Sanders and Ward as the top two prospects, with Ewers No. 9.
Quarterbacks set to throw in Indianapolis include Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss), Jalen Milroe (Alabama) and Riley Leonard (Notre Dame).
In 2024, Ewers completed 65.8 percent of his passes (293 of 445) for 3,472 yards with 31 touchdowns and 12 interceptions for Texas (13-3), which lost to Ohio State in a College Football Playoff semifinal.
A three-year starter, he threw for 9,128 yards with the Longhorns.
