AUSTIN, TX — The Texas Longhorns pro day on Tuesday featured 21 players, but it’s easy to argue quarterback Quinn Ewers was the main attraction.
Rookie New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore and rookie New York Jets HC Aaron Glenn attended Texas pro day. Although the Saints have QB Derek Carr and the Jets signed QB Justin Fields in free agency, both teams could still draft a passer, perhaps the Texas star.
Ewers (6-foot-2, 214 pounds) didn’t participate in the bench press, 40-yard dash, broad jump or three-cone drill, but he threw.
His throwing session didn’t get off to an ideal start. He bobbled a snap from Longhorns center Jake Majors and dropped the ball. After that, the 22-year-old showed Glenn and Moore why he could be a good investment for their teams.
Ewers completed 50 of 59 attempts in the session. Four of his incompletions were drops. He also showed how he excels at throwing in the short and intermediate areas of the field.
