Longhorns Daily News: Jon Gruden is confident in former Texas QB Quinn Ewers

Plus: Arch Manning, the betting favorite

After news broke that the Miami Dolphins used a seventh round NFL Draft pick on former Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers, one of the world’s top quarterback developers, Super Bowl champion coach Jon Gruden, posted his own endorsement of the signal caller.

It’s important. Here’s why, via Athlon Sports:

“Gruden’s endorsement carries weight, given his history of mentoring quarterbacks through his ‘QB Camp’ series and his successful coaching stints with the Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including a Super Bowl win in 2003.”
