The 2024 NFL season is far from over but many teams are keeping on a few notable prospects ahead of the draft. The quarterback room for this year&#8217;s draft may not be the greatest but scouts are focusing on players like Ewers even though he&#8217;s not a top-5 prospect. Still, he could generate yards throwing in tight windows with the anticipation of finding a receiver in the middle.<\/p>\n<p>Last season playing with the Texas Longhorns, he recorded a total of 3,479 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. Ewers may no longer be the starter anymore after the blowout against Florida, but the prospect could still <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/arch-manning-briefly-takes-over-for-quinn-ewers-in-second-quarter-of-no-1-texas-loss-to-no-5-georgia-010810253.html#:~:text=Arch%20Manning%20briefly%20replaced%20Quinn,the%20Longhorns%20trailing%2020%2D0.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">garner attention away from Arch Manning<\/a> who is still developing. He was still the nation&#8217;s top recruit in 2021 and his quick-decision-making abilities may be a key for a roster looking for a quarterback that works with their feet. Ewers&#8217; efforts to make something out of one play could pay off dividends in the NFL with his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfldraftbuzz.com\/Player\/Quinn-Ewers-QB-OhioState\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aggressiveness and raw talent.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ewers may not be getting the attention he deserves, but a team like the Carolina Panthers or Los Angeles Rams could bring out that shine.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BREAKDOWN of Quinn Ewers throwing 5 TDs to lead Texas past Florida (\ud83d\udccd @ModeloUSA ) | The CFB Show\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WaLf-8ao7WU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Panthers, Rams May Be Eyeing Natural-Gift Prospect Quinn Ewers<\/h2>\n<h3>Starting from Scratch<\/h3>\n<p>The Carolina Panthers 2024 season <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wcnc.com\/article\/sports\/nfl\/panthers\/panthers-power-rankings-last-place\/275-004b802b-1caf-45fa-8605-00d22ac3f886#:~:text=CHARLOTTE%2C%20N.C.%20%E2%80%94%20As%20the%20Carolina,%22%20NFL.com%20writers%20said.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">didn&#8217;t go as they hoped<\/a> after sustaining a disastrous year in 2023. They don&#8217;t know the future for their next signal-caller even though they say they want to keep <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/09\/19\/baker-mayfield-stands-up-for-panthers-bryce-young\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Bryce Young<\/a> for the next few years. However, actions speak louder than words, the Panthers went with Andy Dalton for a couple of games before putting Young back in. The Panthers may have a developmental issue but it goes beyond the talent they&#8217;re bringing in.<\/p>\n<p>With Diontae Johnson gone and Adam Thielen not looking to return, this gives the Panthers a legitimate chance to start new. Rookie <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/01\/16\/2024-nfl-draft-profile-xavier-legette\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Xavier Legette<\/a> will likely be their number one receiver after trading Jonathan Mingo to the Dallas Cowboys, it shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone if the Panthers start to firesale talent so they could bring in new talent in the 2025 NFL Draft. Even though they&#8217;re still starting from scratch, the Panthers should bring in someone like Ewers to test the waters and see who will take over at quarterback. Dalton is nothing more but a bridge signal-caller so it makes sense to get Ewers in the mix to see if he can work alongside recently extended <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/10\/14\/week-6-draftkings-plays-jamarr-chase-chuba-hubbard\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Chuba Hubbard.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The Afterlife<\/h3>\n<p>The Los Angeles Rams are getting older as each season passes by with quarterback <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/12\/16\/week-15-draftkings-plays-kyren-williams-matthew-stafford-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Matthew Stafford<\/a> as their leader. Earlier this year, there were <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/nfl\/nfl-rumors-rams-are-set-to-trade-matthew-stafford-to-a-shocking-nfc-team#:~:text=The%20first%20blockbuster%20trade%20of,to%20the%20Rams%20in%202021.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rumors the Rams could trade Stafford<\/a> to a championship roster like the Vikings but talks fell through. Ewers could use this opportunity to learn from a veteran which most quarterbacks succeed in learning from an experienced starter. He isn&#8217;t going to replace Stafford immediately in one season but younger guys like wide receiver, Puka Nacua may be on the roster longer than other athletes such as Cooper Kupp.<\/p>\n<p>This would be Ewers&#8217; chance to see how Stafford throws the football like a cannon and he may not have an issue developing under head coach Sean McVay. He&#8217;s still one the youngest coaches in the league so he has many decades to get his hands on a few signal-callers and develop them to a reliable leader.
