On the night of April 30, it felt like a near guarantee that one of the first former Texas football players to hear his name called in the 2021 NFL Draft would be their former star junior outside linebacker/edge rusher Joseph Ossai. Texas Exes should be draft in hoards later in day two, and early on in day three.
However, it wouldn’t wind up being too early on day two that the former Longhorns stud Ossai would hear his name called. The Cincinnati Bengals out of the AFC North would wind up picking Ossai 69th overall in the third round of the draft.
