Ehlinger will now compete with second-year Jacob Eason for the backup position behind newly acquired Carson Wentz from the Philadelphia Eagles.
Here’s what Ehlinger had to say after being drafted:
"Obviously, going into my rookie year there's going to be a lot of learning curves, and getting great coaching and learning as much as possible is my main objective. And doing whatever it takes to help the team be successful. I mean, at the end of the day, I'm going to do whatever it takes to make everybody in the organization better."
In his decorated career with the Longhorns, Ehlinger completed 923-of-1,476 passes (62.5 percent) for 11,436 yards with 94 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. In addition, he added 1,903 yards and 33 scores on the ground.
