Once projected to be the face of a franchise, **Quinn Ewers** now finds himself in a much different conversation — not as the top pick, but as a **high-ceiling sleeper** heading into the **2025 NFL Draft**.
After a solid but not spectacular 2024 season, Ewers is now expected to go **anywhere from Round 2 to Round 4**, depending on how teams value his raw talent versus his readiness.
But one thing’s for sure: **he’s not backing down.**
### **Eyes on Vegas**
Ewers has been vocal about where he wants to land — and it’s not a mystery. He’s got his heart set on the **Las Vegas Raiders**, praising the team’s intensity under **Pete Carroll** and calling their locker room “the kind of fire I want to be part of.”
But there’s a catch: **Geno Smith** is expected to run the show in Vegas for at least a couple more seasons. That means if Ewers lands there, he’d likely sit, learn, and wait for his shot.
### **Why Teams Are Still Intrigued**
Let’s talk numbers:
– **65.8% completion rate**
– **3,472 yards through the air**
– **31 touchdowns, 12 picks**
Ewers isn’t blowing up the stat sheet, but his mechanics, decision-making, and competitive drive are why NFL teams — including the **Saints** and **Steelers** — are keeping a close eye on him.
What he lacks in polish, he makes up for in upside.
### **Not the Hero We Expected, But Maybe the One a Team Needs**
The truth? Ewers might not walk into a starting job. But with the right team, right mentor, and a bit of patience, he could emerge as one of the steals of the draft.

**So here’s the question: Will the NFL gamble on 6’2, 205 pounds of untapped potential — or will Quinn Ewers find another way to prove the doubters wrong?**
