In the long, illustrious history of Texas Football, only three players have made that exclusive club of the number one overall pick in the NFL Draft.
Extending to the Top 5 overall picks, the Longhorns have produced 15 players selected in the first five picks of the NFL Draft.
That seems like a small number dating back to 1936 when the first NFL Draft was held. But, Texas has been more about producing a high volume of NFL Draft picks each year.
That’s why it was so shocking in 2014 when the Longhorns’ streak of 77 consecutive years having at least one player drafted was snapped in-between the Mack Brown and Charlie Strong eras.
