Is the recent uptick in Red Raiders making it to the NFL a coincidence, or something more?
This weekend, Texas Tech saw three players selected in the NFL draft, while Pete Robertson was signed shortly after as an undrafted free agent. Texas Tech hasn’t had three players taken in the same draft since 2009 when four Red Raiders (Michael Crabtree, Darcel McBath, Louis Vasquez, and Brandon Williams) were selected by NFL franchises.
Last year, no Red Raiders were drafted, but WR Bradley Marquez was signed as an undrafted free agent with the St. Louis (now Los Angeles) Rams.
