When it came to the NFL Draft, there used to be this phenomenon called "bowl-game bias," when a prospect would see massive movement in his draft stock based on one game to end the season. It was pretty foolish.

ESPN revealed its top 100 players of the 2024 college football season on Wednesday. Ewers barely squeaked into the list at No. 91 but could have been ranked higher had he pulled out a win in major games, including the SEC championship and the Cotton Bowl.

Quinn Ewers nearly got to the top of the mountain two years in a row, but the Texas QB ultimately fell short in the College Football Playoff. Arguably, the Longhorns were a play or two away against Washington and Ohio State in back to back semifinals.
