Texas Longhorns to watch in the NFL Draft, potential destinations

We look at where many Longhorns could go in the upcoming NFL Draft.

The 2023 NFL Draft is quickly approaching. This draft could be more enjoyable for Longhorns fans than the last one. Last season, Texas drew attention as a team who failed to have a single player selected within the seven rounds. That shouldn’t be a problem this year.

Running back Bijan Robinson is seeing plenty of attention from NFL Draft experts. We’ve detailed the various destinations on which he could land. Among those locations are the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and a handful of other teams who could use Robinson’s versatility.

Some have denigrated Robinson’s value based on rigid views on running back value. Others have criticized his 4.46 forty-yard dash. Even so, the Arizona product has generational elusiveness, balance and pass catching ability at the running back position. His talent warrants a first round draft pick.

Here’s a look at where other Longhorns could go in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Top moments of Bijan Robinson’s freshman year for Texas

There plenty of excitement for Bijan Robinson going into his sophomore season. A look at the top moments in his freshman year.

The college football season might be seven months away but that doesn’t take away from the excitement around the Forty Acres. The Texas Longhorns made a change at head coach bringing in Steve Sarkisian from the Alabama Crimson Tide, fresh off a National Championship. The burnt orange excitement has reached a fever pitch.

One of the reasons why is that Sarkisian utilized a top running back in Najee Harris for the last two years. In 2021 he inherits one of the best young running backs in the country. Bijan Robinson was on full display down the stretch, especially in the final two games of the season where he accounted for 443 yards and six touchdowns. Four rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns.

From the moment that Robinson’s letter of intent was sent to the University of Texas, there was a level of excitement. The man dubbed ‘Little Ricky’ but Ricky Williams himself had a high level of expectations. Not even those with the highest level of expectations for the five-star running back out of Arizona were fully prepared for his performances in 2020.
