It never hurts to get advice from your elders.
That remains especially true when your elder was the best quarterback at Texas since the legendary Colt McCoy and Vince Young days. That is what current Longhorns quarterback Hudson Card was doing on Monday, as he was photographed with Sam Ehlinger.

Both Card and Ehlinger are in a similar situation in a way, as the Colts are looking to get rid of Carson Wentz, which could give Ehlinger a chance to compete for the starting job. Card on the other hand will have to go through his second quarterback battle as a Longhorn, this time against Ohio State transfer Quinn Ewers.
This will likely prove to be a huge challenge for Card, as Ewers has generated so much hype he is already considered a Heisman candidate by some. Even though Card went on to lose the starting job to Casey Thompson last season, he did show signs of improvement in the last couple games when Thompson was pulled for his lackluster performances.
Ehlinger seems like he would be a great mentor to learn from, but Card will have to use everything he has learned and then some to out-duel Ewers.
