Louis Riddick Blasts Miami Dolphins for Drafting Quinn Ewers
Louis Riddick Blasts Miami Dolphins for Drafting Quinn Ewers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers entered the 2024 season as someone who draft experts viewed as a potential top pick in the 2025 NFL draft. However, he had a poor season by his standards, that was also impacted by injuries, and fell to the seventh round of the draft before he was selected by the Miami Dolphins. Advertisement On Thursday, analyst Louis Riddick appeared on Dolphins Talk to discuss Ewers in Miami as a possible long term option as the QB2 behind Tua Tagovailoa. "A long term number two, yeah. I would say off of what I've seen. I was admittedly not a big fan. That's not being disrespectful. That's just being honest. It's interesting, people want you to give your honest opinion as long as it's in accordance with what their opinion is and as long as it's positive." Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers (3) against the Clemson Tigers during the CFP National playoff first round at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial J. Rebilas-Imagn Images "Look Quinn, I don't know Quinn, I just know Quinn from watching a lot of UT film and being a big Longhorns fans. Could he be a good No. 2, yeah. Do I think he has the horsepower as far as body twitch, arm strength, to be a starting caliber QB to really level up Miami? No, I didn't see that. That's why I was very lukewarm to say the least on the draft selection." Advertisement Heading into his first NFL season, Ewers is listed as the third-string QB. Tagovailoa is the starting QB, followed by Zach Wilson. As a result, Ewers is unlikely to earn playing time this season unless there are significant injury issues in Miami.

Arch Manning Reaffirms Why He Chose Texas as a Recruit
Arch Manning Reaffirms Why He Chose Texas as a Recruit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2023 class, Arch Manning held offers from some of the biggest programs in college football. Advertisement Powerhouses such as Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Notre Dame all made pushes for him, but when it came time to make a decision, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning chose the Texas Longhorns. It was a bit of a shocking choice considering they already had a starter in place with Quinn Ewers, but Manning made it clear that he wanted to be in Austin. Aside from old videos surfacing showing that he had been a Longhorns fan growing up, Manning and his family were also enticed by the opportunity to play for Steve Sarkisian. Even after it was revealed Ewers was returning for 2024, Manning didn't run to the portal like most players these days would. Something that he touched on when speaking to On3 at the Manning Passing Academy on Thursday. Advertisement 'Just his track record with quarterbacks, he came off a really good year in 2020 with Mac Jones at Alabama,' Manning said. 'They lit it up. I like him as a person. I liked Austin, liked Texas, so it was just the right fit. He's hard on me sometimes, but I deserve it a lot of the time." Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Diggins/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Aside from Mac Jones, Sarkisian also helped develop Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez, Jake Locker and Tua Tagovailoa. While Manning was beloved as the backup that everyone wanted to see play last year, 2025 will be his time to shine. Sarkisian named him as the starter earlier this offseason, giving him the keys to a program that has made the College Football Playoff two years in a row, losing in the semifinal in both. Advertisement Although there will be plenty of pressure on him due to his name and the fact he sat and waited, the buzz around Austin is that he will be worth the hype, and then some.
