NFL Scouting Combine 2025: Key QB Decisions and Participants

Quinn Ewers Set to Throw at the Combine

Former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has decided to participate in throwing drills at the NFL Scouting Combine. After dealing with a strained oblique during the 2024 season, Ewers has been training with former NFL coach Mike McCarthy to refine his mechanics. Currently projected as a mid-to-late second-round pick, he aims to improve his draft stock with a strong performance.

Shedeur Sanders Opts Out of Throwing

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will not throw at the combine. Instead, he will focus on interviews and other evaluations, planning to showcase his skills at Colorado’s Pro Day. Sanders led the nation in completion percentage (74%) in 2024 and is regarded as a top quarterback prospect.

Cam Ward’s Decision Still Pending

Miami quarterback Cam Ward has not yet confirmed whether he will participate in throwing drills. Ward, who transferred to Miami and led the Hurricanes to a 10-2 record in 2024, is considered a top prospect, and his choice will be closely watched by scouts and analysts.

Other Quarterbacks Participating in Throwing Drills

Several quarterbacks have confirmed their participation in the throwing sessions, including:

Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss)
Jalen Milroe (Alabama)
Riley Leonard (Notre Dame)

With NFL teams closely monitoring performances at the combine, these quarterbacks will have the opportunity to improve their draft positions ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
