NFL Draft QB Showdown: Who's Leading the Accuracy Race?
Red flags are flying everywhere. It’s not that Ewers was about to get benched at Texas in favor of Arch Manning and had to make a decision between the transfer portal and the NFL Draft. Manning’s time was coming no matter what. But Ewers’ inclination to make dangerous, off-target throws could’ve crippled Texas’ 2024 season long before the Longhorns reached a playoff semifinal against Ohio State.
On throws 5+ yards downfield, Ewers’ 9.38% pickable pass rate was double anyone else in this group. Maybe it wasn’t all his fault: Texas didn’t have a bunch of game-breaking receivers, and Ewers’ 62.9% open target rate on those throws was also the lowest of the bunch.
