Quinn Ewers’ agent blasts ‘chickens–t’ explanation for QB’s NFL draft fall

An NFL draft slide sometimes doesn’t come with clarity or a pinpointed explanation.

Agent Ron Slavin feels that was the case with his client and former Texas quarterback, Quinn Ewers.

Prior to the three-day draft spectacle, Ewers didn’t expect to be among the first 32 selections with the second round being more of possibility. However, he was the 13th and final quarterback taken in the 2025 draft, getting selected with the No. 231 in the seventh round by the Miami Dolphins.

Slavin told ESPN that he reached out to “half the league” the day after the draft to find out why Ewers had such a big slide.

The answer, he said, was “chickens–t.”

“They thought he was a third- or fourth-round pick, but too big of a name to be a clipboard holder,” Slavin told Archer. “Which I think is chickens–t.”
