The latest mock draft from Sporting News has Quinn Ewers coming off the board in the first round with the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting him at 21 overall. Ewers is the fourth QB off the board in that draft.

Austin, Texas – Texas junior quarterback Quinn Ewers declared for the NFL draft on Wednesday, ending a Longhorns career in which he led the program to a Big 12 championship and twice to the College Football Playoff but was not always embraced by a fan base eagerly waiting for Arch Manning to take over.

In deciding future, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers can make more money in college football in 2025 than he can from a mid-round NFL rookie contract.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has to decide whether to enter the 2025 NFL Draft, return to Texas or enter the transfer portal after the Longhorns' College Football Playoff run is done, but he isn't ready to discuss those career options just yet.

While far from definitive, it is the closest to an answer Ewers has given about his thoughts for 2025, as speculation has run rampant about his football future. At the end of December, On3 reported one unnamed school made a $6 million pitch to lure Ewers to play for that team and leave Texas.

The decision was largely expected after Ewers told ESPN last week that he didn’t plan to return to college football in 2025.

After three years with the Texas football team, quarterback Quinn Ewers is moving on. Ewers announced Wednesday he is declaring for the 2025 NFL draft. The decision became public in a video posted to his Instagram and X accounts. Pro Football Focus currently rates Ewers as the No. 7 quarterback in the 2025 draft class.
