Connor Williams drafted by Dallas Cowboys

Offensive lineman Connor Williams was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the 50th overall pick in the second of the 2018 NFL Draft on Friday night at AT&T Stadium. Williams becomes the 338th Longhorn all-time to be selected in the draft and the first Longhorn offensive lineman since Tony Hills in 2008.

"Connor has all the tools you're looking for in a great NFL offensive lineman and we're thrilled to see him drafted by the Cowboys," Texas head coach Tom Herman said. "He's a big, physical and aggressive player who was a tight end in high school, so he's tremendously athletic too.
