Quinn Ewers might be regretting his decision to go to the NFL. Two weeks ago, Ewers slid to the seventh round of the draft.
While speaking to ESPN, Ewers appeared stunned by the slide.
“I just didn’t know what was going on,” Ewers, 22, told ESPN after the draft. “But, I mean, it was nice [to get drafted], because at one point I’m like, ‘I’m not even going to get drafted. I’m going to go undrafted.’
“It was very unexpected, and I think that the toughest part about it is just the amount of unexpected occurrences there were. But I’m glad that I ended up where I ended up. To go as late as I did, I’m glad it’s a good spot.”
According to SportsTrac, Ewers has signed his rookie contract with the Miami Dolphins worth 4-year/$4.33M with only $130,000 guaranteed.
As the #231 overall pick, QB Quinn Ewers receives a $131,576 signing bonus per his rookie contract with the #Dolphins, the only guaranteed portion of the deal.

It is worth noting that Ewers reportedly turned down an $8 million NIL deal in college to play in the NFL.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers turned down an $8 million NIL offer to transfer to another school for his final year of eligibility because he was ready to move on and enter the 2025 NFL and also to preserve his college football experience as a Longhorn, sources close to Ewers told Horns247.
Ewers could’ve earned more in one season next year than the roughly $6 million in NIL revenue he’s earned the past three seasons in Austin, sources told Horns247. Ewers also earned $1.4 million by signing with GT Sports Marketing when he enrolled at Ohio State in the fall of 2021.
