Dane Brugler on Ewers: 6. Washington Commanders: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
“Only a redshirt sophomore (plus he skipped his senior year of high school), Ewers is still very young in several areas. But he has the top-shelf arm talent to make wow plays look routine. If the mental development catches up to his physical skills, Ewers will be an easy top-10 pick.”
