Texas had five players selected in the 2023 NFL Draft.
On top of that, former Longhorn defensive backs D’Shawn Jamison (San Francisco) and Anthony Cook (Kansas City) signed as undrafted free agents shortly after the draft concluded.
Jamison and Cook will compete for a spot on the 53-man roster over the summer. The 49ers open the season on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 10 and the Chiefs will open the NFL season on Thursday Night Football against the Detroit Lions.
As for Texas’ five draft picks, several should receive significant playing time as rookies. Bijan Robinson was selected No. 8 overall by the Atlanta Falcons and received a fully guaranteed four-year rookie contract.
Roschon Johnson could ultimately become the starting running back in Chicago as a rookie and is expected to thrive on special teams. DeMarvion Overshown, Keondre Coburn and Moro Ojomo could make bigger impacts as rookies than some may think.
Here’s a look at when and where Texas’ five draft picks will make their NFL debut in September.
