Yahoo SportsTrevor Lawrence, Quinn Ewers There are two paths the Jaguars could go down. With Ewers being a 2025 seventh-round pick, the Jaguars could keep Mullens and have Ewers be the third quarterback on the roster in a developmental role.
CBS SportsMeanwhile, Ewers now arrives to a Jaguars team that has an established starter in Trevor Lawrence, who is coming off arguably the best season of his career under coach Liam Coen. The 23-year-old will now jockey with Nick Mullens, Carter Bradley and Joey Aguilar for positioning in the QB pecking order.

"Ewers was once one of the most sought-after quarterbacks in the country, but by the end of his college career, he was nothing more than a flier for an NFL team. The Dolphins took a shot, and he ended up starting three games for the team as a rookie, leading them to a 1-2 record, with his lone win coming against the scuffling Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It wasn't exactly pretty.

Bleacher ReportEwers made just one appearance for the Dolphins this preseason in an Aug. 14 matchup against the Washington Commanders in which he went 1-for-8 and later said he was playing through a pulled groin muscle.
CBS SportsEwers saw action as a rookie, starting three games for the Dolphins late last season (Week 16 through Week 18). Over that stretch, he went 1-2 as Miami's starter while completing 50 of his 75 pass attempts (66.7%) for 569 yards, three passing touchdowns, and three interceptions. Ewers also rushed for 19 yards in that time.

02 Yahoo Sports "In camp this year, Ewers entered as the clear backup, but he struggled, throwing too many interceptions and just generally failing to capitalize on his opportunities. That trend continued in the preseason. He only played in one game, threw an interception, got hurt, and didn't appear again. While he was the favorite to be the team's backup in 2026 at the start of the offseason, it became evident quickly that he might not make the roster, which is saying something because the other contenders for the job weren't any better."
