Top 11 Texas Longhorns NFL draft picks in Super Bowl era

Earl Campbell, Tommy Nobis and Derrick Johnson are among the elite Longhorns who went on to star in the NFL after being chosen in the draft.

Texas has a rich history in college football. The Longhorns are no slouch on the pro level, either.

Let’s take a look at some of the best Texas football players who were selected in the NFL draft. Before we get started, it would be inappropriate to make this list without recognizing an undrafted great, Priest Holmes. Holmes was a Super Bowl champion, 3x All-Pro and Pro Bowler, touchdown leader in 2002 and 2003, and rushing leader in 2001.
