The 2023 NFL draft is roughly two months away.
Several former Longhorns are likely to hear their name called during the three-day event. Texas running back Bijan Robinson is considered one of the top prospects in this draft class regardless of position and will likely be taken off of the board during the first round.
DeMarvion Overshown, Roschon Johnson, Moro Ojomo and Keondre Coburn are also intriguing prospects in their own right. Even defensive backs D’Shawn Jamison and Anthony Cook have a solid chance to be drafted.
