Number Of Texas Tech Players In NFL Is Troublingly Low

The NFL Draft is dominating the national sports scene this week. The event is massive because it is the perfect merging of the college and professional games, drawing interest from rabid NFL and college football fans alike.

This weekend, 256 players will hear their names called at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and they will span the college football landscape from the blue-blood power-5 programs to the smallest schools to field a team. Many are predicting three Texas Tech Red Raiders, receivers Keke Coutee and Dylan Cantrell and QB Nic Shimonek, to be among that group which would match the most Kliff Kingsbury has had drafted in any single year.
