Louisville's NFL Draft success bodes well for Charlie Strong era at Texas

Just do this in Austin and the Longhorns should return to national prominence.

One of the most remarkable stories surrounding the 2015 NFL Draft was the number of Louisville Cardinals players selected.

With 10 draft picks, the Cardinals only ranked behind the Florida State Seminoles, which led with 11 overall picks, and the same number of combined selections from the Oregon Ducks and the Ohio State Buckeyes, the two teams that played for the national championship back in January.

After Louisville had three first-round draft picks last season, there have now been 14 players selected from Texas head coach Charlie Strong's former program in the last two years, a remarkable number when considering that the school produced only 25 total draft picks over the 10 years leading up to 2014.
