The quarter game in the NFL is essential. Teams like the Indianapolis colts Know that better than anyone at the moment.
A common theme through the league with regard to the quarters is the possibility of finding one that collapsed in a place and by making a successful “re -making project”. The hottest example is Sam Darnold of Vikings du Minnesota.
For the colts, the veteran Sam Ehlinger did not necessarily flame (he was a former sixth round choice, after all), but he never became more than a third channel / practical team player during his three years in Indy.
He had the opportunity to start several times in 2022, but it was in the worst circumstances with the worst team of recent memory colts. However, after three years and clearly without being considered someone who could become a starter (or even a main backup at this point), is it time for Ehlinger to go to greener pastures this spring in free agency? EspnStephen Holder draws the same conclusion::
Ehlinger is entering the free agency for the first time, but only started three games in his career. The colts did not give him a blow to be more than QB n ° 3 in each of the last two seasons, and it is possible that it is the appropriate approach. But is there a team that could give it a chance to be a main backup? Ehlinger has traveled a long way since entering the league in 2021, undersized and with a questionable arm force. But he is a diligent worker and has improved considerably, even if he does not have the tools of certain QB the most talented in the League.
Ehlinger (6’2 “, 225, 26 years old) has cut a role with the colts as an intelligent depth player who can perform what the team asks him in practice and behind the scenes. He also became a reliable stop during the pre-season which helps coaches to better assess the offensive. And more recently, Ehilingger was a mentor at Anthony Richardson.
During his career, Ehlinger began 3 games out of 8, spending 64 out of 101 (63.4%) for 573 yards (5.7 YPA), 3 affected and 3 interceptions, and a scaper of 76.1. He also ran the ball 20 times on 96 yards (4.8 AVG.).
As a player, Ehlinger takes what the defense gives him but is certainly not afraid to pull the trigger on the launchers at the bottom of the field. Its ability to rush and keep the games alive is also an endearing feature. However, it was clearly not something to raise it in the depth board with the colts, so if he wants more opportunity, it may be time to move on.
