The Texas Longhorns are about to provide highly skilled players to several NFL franchises. After the Longhorns sent 11 players to the NFL Scouting Combine it seems apparent that draft day could produce an impressive class for Texas following a College Football Playoff season.
The 11 players Texas sends will include defensive tackle Byron Murphy, tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders, wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, wide receiver Xavier Worthy, defensive tackle T’Tondre Sweat, running back Jonathon Brooks, linebacker Jaylan Ford, wide receiver Jordan Whittington, offensive tackle Christian Jones, cornerback Ryan Watts and running back/kick returner Keilan Robinson.
The above players possess the athleticism to transform their next team. Let’s find a landing spot for the players with NFL franchises who could benefit from their skill sets in 2024.
Keilan Robinson
Texas’ Keilan Robinson (7) gets by Oklahoma State’s Trey Rucker (9) and Kale Smith (10) on a touchdown run in the second half of the Big 12 Football Championship game between the Oklahoma State University Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay stands to benefit from better production in the return game after last season. The Bucs’ top returner Deven Thompkins went for just 20.4 yards per return. That’s not all on Thompkins as a returner is often as good as his return team. But winning the margins could benefit a Buccaneers team that was close to reaching an NFC championship game a season ago.
