I couldn’t agree more. Ehlinger is the perfect example of the kind of man I want leading my football team.

On the field, he’s an incredibly impressive athlete, can run the football with the best of them at the quarterback position, is a grinder, has an NFL body and has the it-factor you simply can’t teach.

When it comes to his leadership, he’s about as good as you’ll ever find. Men want to follow him, and it’s that simple.

You’re either born with that kind of trait or you’re not. Ehlinger has it in spades.
