NFL fans react to Quinn Ewers’ first look in Dolphins’ No. 14 jersey
Quinn Ewers posed wearing a No. 14 Dolphins jersey, and fans were not too thrilled with the whole getup. The rookie sported No. 3 in college, and changing to a different number did not sit well with many fans. It was also raised that Ryan Fitzpatrick, who played in Miami, used to sport that number, and Quinn Ewers having the same number on his back might distract from the now-retired quarterback’s achievements.
One understands why that took place. After all, the rookie quarterback was the last one drafted out of the 2025 class in his position and has no standing to demand the number of his choice. Veteran linebacker K.J. Britt currently wears No. 3.
What was supposed to be a post by the Dolphins on X/Twitter to get fans excited turned instead into a response filled with people not quite happy about the whole situation. Here are some of the reactions from the social media platform.
