Former NFL scout discusses Texas DT Keondre Coburn

Keondre Coburn has a chance to be drafted early in 2023.

Keondre Coburn is seeing high praise from one NFL Draft expert. Bryan Broaddus wrote the following about the Texas defensive lineman in regard to his draft stock.

Keep an eye on Keondre Coburn DT Texas in this draft. Massive nose man that is disruptive rushing the passer. Type of guy that forces opponents into penalties. Good group with Siaki Ika Baylor and Mazi Smith Michigan.

From early in the season, Coburn flashed as a much improved player. The second-team all Big 12 lineman was a force to be reckoned with in 2022 and has seen first round hype since his strong start.

Improved strength and conditioning programming likely helped Coburn realize his potential after a struggling campaign in 2021. He wasn’t the only player who didn’t reach his ceiling that season.

The 2021 campaign saw Texas send zero players to the 2022 NFL Draft. With Bijan Robinson viewed as a first round talent and Coburn another potential early pick, the Longhorns can change the narrative about lack of development on the Forty Acres.
