AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Football's Caden Sterns was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 152nd overall pick in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft on Saturday.
Sterns is the 26th Texas defensive back taken in the NFL Draft since 1990, and his selection marks the fourth-straight year a player from the Longhorns' secondary has been drafted (DeShon Elliott, 2018; Kris Boyd, 2019; Brandon Jones, 2020). Sterns is the sixth UT player drafted by the Denver Broncos, and first since defensive end Tim Crowder in 2007.
Sterns, a Cibolo, Texas native, appeared in 29 games and made 28 starts during his three-year career on the Forty Acres.
