Longhorns Daily News: Dallas Cowboys grab Texas’ Bijan Robinson in first round of Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft

Recent Texas Longhorns running back alum Bijan Robinson isn’t from the Lone Star State.

He grew up in Arizona.

But that doesn’t mean a Texan – a Longhorn fan – can’t have their dreams come true in the NFL Draft later this spring. That would be the case if a scenario in analyst Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft players out, in which the Dallas Cowboys grab Robinson in the first round.

From ESPN: “... Team owner Jerry Jones loves star running backs, going back to his days of drafting Emmitt Smith in Round 1 in 1990, and he repeatedly has said Ezekiel Elliott is the Cowboys’ most important player.
