"Tua shaking rn," said one more.

One X (former Twitter) user tweeted, "Dolphins finally found their franchise quarterback that they've been searching for since Marino!"

"Better than tua," declared one fan.

One fan commented sarcastically, "What’s gonna happen with tua ?"

Mike McDaniel will be overseeing the Miami Dolphins in the 2025 NFL season, and wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will be running routes and catching passes. Ewers could have a golden setup with the Dolphins, all ready to pounce on.

What can you expect from Quinn Ewers in Miami?

Quinn Ewers's NFL journey begins in Miami after the Dolphins selected the Texas native. A top recruit out of high school, his path to the NFL was rocky.

Started at Ohio State in 2021: one game
Transferred to Texas in 2022 (till end of 2024): 9,128 passing yards, 68 touchdowns, and 24 interceptions in 36 games

The 6-foot-2, 214-pound Ewers is not the biggest quarterback, but his arm strength and raw talent offer great potential. However, Miami fans shouldn’t expect their newest QB to step on the gridiron immediately.

The Dolphins - who inked a $6 million deal with Zach Wilson back in March - could use Wilson as Tua Tagovailoa’s backup. This means Quinn Ewers will likely spend his rookie season learning the system and developing.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
