The deepest draft class that the Texas football program sent off to the NFL in more than three years happened this offseason. Texas had five former players drafted in the 2021 class. That included two day-two picks. Those two day-two picks among Texas Exes were edge rusher Joseph Ossai to the Cincinnati Bengals 69th overall in the third and offensive tackle Samuel Cosmi to the Washington Football Team 51st overall in the second round.
While it was nice to see the likes of Ossai and Cosmi end the drought of day two draft picks among former Longhorns, a lot of attention was paid to another selection.
