Hook ’Em Hold Outs: Two of Texas' top 2025 NFL Draft picks remain unsigned

An unprecedented amount of 2025 NFL Draft picks are holding out right now, including multiple former Texas football players.

CB Jahdae Barron is one of a few remaining unsigned first rounders heading into the 2025 training camp circuit, with the team obviously working to get a deal done before the players hit the field in a couple weeks.

Barron is currently projected to be Denver's starting slot corner/nickelback this season alongside All-Pro CB Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss. Needless to say, it would be beneficial to both sides to strike a deal so that the former All-American and Jim Thorpe Award winner doesn't miss out on valuable reps in Vance Joseph's defense.
