The next 24 to 48 hours will determine whether former Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger will make the 53-man roster for the Indianapolis Colts, but there’s little doubt that the second-year player make a strong case for head coach Frank Reich to carry three quarterbacks.
“Sam has had a phenomenal preseason,” Reich said. “It’s hard to imagine having a better preseason than he’s had. He’s done everything he’s needed to do.”
In the three preseason games, Ehlinger went 24-of-29 passing for 289 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions while rushing for 71 yards and a 45-yard touchdown run on Saturday, longer than any run he had while playing for the Longhorns.
