The Dallas Cowboys will be in the market for a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft, and Texas Longhorns football star Quinn Ewers now has a unique connection to the team.

Mike McCarthy is taking 2025 off from coaching, but he’s reportedly been helping Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers prep for the NFL scouting combine.

Ewers is expected to throw at the NFL combine this week when quarterbacks are slated to work out on March 1, according to NFL Media. The report adds that Ewers is fully recovered from a torn oblique he suffered during the Longhorns' second game of the season against Michigan and is weighing in at about 215 pounds.
