Over the course of the last decade, the Texas football program saw a significant drop in the amount of first round NFL Draft picks that were churned out compared to the 2000’s. Texas can hopefully pick that trend up heading into the new decade, as things couldn’t get much worse than they were throughout the last few years.
Texas is going on five years without a single first round NFL Draft pick. The last time a Texas Ex was selected in the first round was back in 2015, when the New England Patriots drafted defensive tackle Malcom Brown 32nd overall.
