Quinn Ewers' girlfriend Mady Barnes shared gameday photos

Quinn Ewers didn't hear his name called until the seventh-round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The former Texas Longhorns quarterback battled injuries throughout his college football career which derailed his draft stock.

Ewers had support from girlfriend Mady Barnes as he got his NFL career underway this summer. Barnes shared a collage of photos from the Miami Dolphins' preseason gameday as she supported her 'NFL man.' The couple took a sideline photo with Barnes wearing an orange dress that matched the Dolphins colors.

In another photo, Mady Barnes also took a photo alongside other Miami Dolphins significant others, including Zach Wilson's wife Nicolette. The ladies each had signs of the player's Miami Dolphins heads, showing their support.

"My NFL man🤗"-Mady Barnes captioned the Instagram post

In three preseason games this summer, Ewers completed 23 of 43 passes, throwing for 273 yards and two touchdowns, with no turnovers. Ewers was in a quarterback competition with Zach Wilson for the QB2 spot behind starter Tua Tagovailoa.

Although he fared well this preseason, Wilson won the backup quarterback position, pushing Ewers to third string.
