Unveiling the Surprising Accuracy Stats That Could Redefine NFL Draft Quarterback Favorites
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 the second-worst mark in the FBS (min. 150 attempts). Maybe it wasn’t all his fault: Texas didn’t have a bunch of game-breaking receivers, and Ewers’ 63.4% open target rate on those throws was also one of the lowest in the nation.
