Indianapolis Colts sixth-round draft pick QB Sam Ehlinger (Texas) signed a four-year contract worth $3.61 million – including a $130,708 signing bonus – on Wednesday, May 19.
Footballguys View: Ehlinger was a top dual-threat quarterback coming out of high school and the Longhorns always had a chance in a close game when he was under center. He operated a run/pass option offense which takes advantage of his rushing ability, and scouts call Ehlinger a “gamer.” Ehlinger needs to make quicker decisions as a passer and he doesn’t have a rocket arm. However, his competitive spirit and athleticism make him a player to watch in dynasty formats.
