Following a tremendous career with the Texas Longhorns, Quinn Ewers is now fighting for the Miami Dolphins' backup role.

Following his time in Austin, Ewers ranks No. 4 in school history in wins with a 27-9 record, became the first Texas quarterback ever to lead them to back-to-back conference championship games, ranked No. 3 in school history for passing yards with 9,128, No. 3 in career passing touchdowns with 68 and also led the program to its first two College Football Playoff appearances.

However, injuries derailed what could have been an even more promising career, and likely played a role in him falling to the seventh round of this year's draft, where the Dolphins selected him with the 231st overall pick.

Although he has been frequently making highlight throws during the team's training camp, ESPN released its updated depth chart for every NFL team, and it appears Ewers has some work to do as he's listed as the third quarterback.

Due to Tagovailoa's injury history and the fact that he is a proven commodity, it seems extremely unlikely that he will see any playing time during the preseason. This means both Wilson and Ewers should receive ample opportunities to prove who should be the backup behind Tagovailoa.

The Dolphins will play their first preseason game on Aug. 10 against the Chicago Bears, and although head coach Mike McDaniel says he doesn't believe in depth charts, we will quickly learn who is the QB2 based on who goes in first.
