One of the more highly anticipated former Texas football players to get taken off of the board in the 2021 NFL Draft was the ex-redshirt junior and standout 6-foot-7 and 305 pound offensive tackle Samuel Cosmi. It did feel like, heading into day one of the draft festivities, that Cosmi could end the drought of first-round picks for Texas.
The last time that a Texas Ex was picked in the first round of the NFL Draft was way back in 2015 when the New England Patriots snagged defensive tackle Malcom Brown 32nd overall.
