Texas safety Caden Sterns is selected by the Denver Broncos in the fifth round

The Denver Broncos selected Texas safety Caden Sterns in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft.

Texas Longhorns safety Caden Sterns has a new home.

In the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft, Sterns was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 152nd overall pick. He becomes the second defensive player from Texas taken off the board Saturday, four picks after defensive tackle Ta’Quon Graham.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound safety played in seven games last season and totaled 52 tackles, three pass breakups and an interception.

While at Texas, Sterns earned All-Big 12 honors in 2018 and was named the Big 12 defensive freshman of the year, totaling five interceptions, eight pass breakups and 173 total tackles throughout his collegiate career.

Denver needed to improve its depth in the secondary, and Sterns offers plenty of ball skills playing deep at the free safety position or near the line of scrimmage in the nickel. He’s a skilled and versatile athlete to play in the third level.

Sterns becomes the fourth defensive back taken in the last four drafts out of Texas, following DeShon Elliott, Kris Boyd and B.J. Foster.

Sterns grew up in Cibolo, Texas just on the outskirts of San Antonio and he is asking for your help. Using the link above you can make a donation and help those in the Alamo City.

Hello everyone, hope y’all are staying safe during these times. A couple athletes and I wanted to come together and make a difference in the community we value and love so much. It came to our attention that there was a huge need of money providing food for families due to the inconveniences of COVID-19. Coming together and becoming a team as a community hasn’t been more important, so please donate, share, and repost so we can provide meals for those in need. Anything helps and all donations are greatly appreciated. God bless and stay safe! – Caden Sterns via the San Antonio Food Bank fundraising page
