Sanders seemed to draw the most attention, but Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, who was fresh off one of the best careers in program history, also plummeted down the board. He went from a possible second-round pick to being taken with the No. 231 overall pick in the seventh round by the Miami Dolphins.

The Texas Longhorns NFL pipeline is up and running again with coach Steve Sarkisian. Texas finished 13-3 and reached the SEC championship game and College Football Playoff semifinals in 2024. Now, the Longhorns hit double-digit selections in the NFL Draft for the second straight season.

Texas saw a record number of Longhorns selected in the 2025 draft, with 12 members of the 2024 team that made a run to the College Football Playoff semifinal being picked to play on Sundays. This surpasses the program’s previous record of 11 Longhorns taken in last year’s draft.
