2025 NFL Draft: Quinn Ewers goes viral in front of hunting collection
Quinn Ewers was patiently waiting for the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft to begin Friday night. But the former Texas quarterback went viral for another reason: his living room.
With deer heads along the wall, Ewers seems like the avid hunter. But of course social media noted the myriad amount of hunting trophies while he just hung out.
That just goes to show you what you can find out about players when there are cameras inside their draft parties or living rooms. You can see the image below, located in Chico (Texas).
As far as where Ewers will go in the NFL Draft, it’s anyone’s guess. Ahead of the draft, several coaches and executives spoke to NFL.com, sharing their thoughts on the quarterback class. Ewers was among the names who came up, ranking sixth overall among the available quarterbacks. Along with that came a projection that he’d be selected in the third or fourth round of the draft.

One NFC quarterbacks coach spoke anonymously about Ewers. While he did praise his character, the coach has other concerns that could hamper Ewers’ transition to the NFL. Those concerns could turn him into a developmental prospect at the next level.
“Real smart, great kid, real self-aware,” an NFC quarterbacks coach said. “Just the arm strength and some of the decision-making (are concerns). He’s going to have a big jump, too, just as far as what’s asked of him at the next level. But he’s somebody you can see develop, develop, develop and then — bang! Because there’s a competitor there that’s hard to teach and there’s an intelligence factor there that’s hard to teach.”
Ewers was a five-star recruit in the Class of 2021, according to the On3 Industry Ranking. He initially went to Ohio State before transferring to Texas, where he would see the field consistently as the starter for three seasons. Along the way, he helped get Texas back to the College Football Playoff and was a second-team All-SEC performer in 2024.
