Texas Football: NFL Draft decisions show Longhorns are title contenders in 2019

Rarely does a program like Texas football receive as much good news as it is now for players foregoing an NFL Draft unless there’s a good reason to return the following year. Head Texas football coach Tom Herman got a lot of good news in the past two days from player announcements passing up the 2019 NFL Draft to return to the Forty Acres this year.

The first big decision that dropped for Texas football came from junior linebacker Malcom Roach. In a spot where Roach had a down year in 2018, he had the opportunity to come back to the Forty Acres for one more year and prove his worth to NFL scouts.
