Quinn Ewers faces draft uncertainty as Arch Manning gains attention

Quinn Ewers, the Texas Longhorns quarterback, had a strong 2024/25 season but is now facing concerns about his draft stock. Despite leading his team to two College Football Playoff semifinals, analysts worry about his mobility and injury history. Ewers is projected to be selected as low as No. 50 overall in the NFL Draft, a significant drop from earlier expectations. This contrasts with the rising hype around backup quarterback Arch Manning, who is being considered a top prospect for the 2026 draft. Manning, despite limited playing time, has impressive stats and is seen as a potential No. 1 pick in 2025. Some teams are reportedly planning to lose games in 2026 to secure him as their future quarterback.
