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.

Badger NFL Draft prospect Benton takes podium at Combine

Keeanu Benton, a former Badger nose tackle from 2019-2022 took the podium Wednesday at the 2023 NFL Draft Combine.

Keeanu Benton, a former Badger nose tackle from 2019-2022 took the podium Wednesday at the 2023 NFL Draft Combine. The 6-foot-4, 300-plus pound athlete has climbed the draft rankings in recent months after an impressive Senior Bowl performance.

In his time with Wisconsin, the nose tackle compiled 81 tackles, including nine sacks, over 39 career games. Considering his size, Benton’s athletic ability is NFL-caliber and the Janesville, Wisconsin native will look to show out at the combine.

Fox sports has Benton as a late first round or early second round selection currently, but an impressive performance this week in front of the league’s scouts could vault him even higher.
