Steve Sarkisian and Quinn Ewers have been a durable HC-QB duo that can pass the test of time and doubt. The Texas Longhorns retain their tradition of sending a handful of players to the NFL combine each year, with the numbers standing at 14 this time, including Jaydon Blue, Isaiah Bond, Quinn Ewers, and others. ”I know Jaydon Blue and Isaiah Bond are going to run great times. They’re going to really roll. I think Matt Golden is going to surprise people with his versatility at receiver,” coach Sark said when asked about the notable Combine names from his team for the year. Yes, we all felt the same push in our gut to ask, What about your boy, the Texas Crown Jewel, Quinn Ewers? Well, it seems the coach phenom has read our pulses and answered it with a banger.
Quinn Ewers’s journey in Texas in his final year was a roller coaster ride. He endured a torn oblique but still played through the games. From enduring doubts about his future at Austin amidst the Arch Manning fantasy (as shined through the two games against UL Monroe and Mississippi State), Ewers came a long way before deciding to leave for the pro. But even in the draft, he is undervalued for being tagged as injury-prone. The 3,472 yards, 31 TDs, and 12 picks in 2024 couldn’t evade the uncertainty of his availability to throw at the combine.
Coach Sark didn’t decline the fear, but he knows what Ewers can do with his rock-solid resilience. In a recent interview with Sportscenter, Sarkisian left a message for teams planning to draft the Texas poster boy. ”I think one is that they are going to see this guy throw tonight, and I think he’s going to throw darts,” Sarkisian dished out big hope to all the fans. “I think he is just really going to be on point with his ability to throw football.’‘
”I think something that gets lost, you know this guy has endured a lot in his time with us at the University of Texas, is his resiliency. This guy has always bounced back. You know, he had to fight through a bunch of different injuries along the way. Some of these things are hard to measure at a combine or pro day.” Sark added a pinch of salt in the brewing hope. So, the injury scare is still there but not pitted as one of his weaknesses; rather, it is one of his biggest strengths to cut through anything and everything.
We will see how Quinn Ewers and his injury horrors will play against each other in the NFL draft down the road.
