As for the Combine, Ewers had a solid display. He connected on 16 of 22 passes during drills, with his deep throws standing out as his biggest strength. Though he missed a few out routes and early passes over the middle, he delivered when it came to airing it out.

Even Texas coach Steve Sarkisian, who was covering the event for NFL Network, was impressed by Ewers.

“I think he can throw darts,” Sarkisian said. “I think he’s going to be on point with his ability to throw the football. I think something that gets lost, this guy has had to endure a lot during his time at the University of Texas.”
