Texas football has produced plenty of players for the NFL, often having a handful of picks for the annual draft. The first-round selections have decreased in recent years, but that hasn’t stopped the professional football teams from selecting Longhorns in the middle of the selection process. Plenty of them are still around in the NFL, including one veteran that was in Austin during the early 2000’s.
There is a long list of Texas football players that are playing on Sunday whether it’s as a starter, backup, or reserve. Who makes up the list of athletes who used to wear the burnt orange uniforms every fall?
The NFL season is reaching its final weeks, so this list will change heading into the league’s upcoming offseason and with the draft approaching.

What team could he end up on?
