With the No. 218 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts selected Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger.
The Austin Westlake product is the first Longhorns quarterback drafted since Colt McCoy in 2010.
Essentially a four-year starter in Austin, Ehlinger entered the draft as the most productive quarterback in his class, ranking No. 20 all-time in total yards. Furthermore, throughout his four years on the Forty Acres, Ehlinger cemented his status as one of the most productive quarterbacks — arguably the second-most — to ever play for Texas, stamping his name behind only Colt McCoy on nearly every meaningful quarterbacking record in school history.
