The Baylor Bears' quest for an unprecedented third consecutive Big 12 title received a huge boost when sack man Shawn Oakman and superior left tackle Spencer Drango each decided to put off the NFL.

Now each will be looked upon as top prospects for the 2016 NFL draft.

Once the doormat of the league, the Bears had never won a Big 12 championship until 2013. They did it again last year, sharing the title with TCU. They can match Oklahoma (2006-08) as the only three-time champ in league history.
