Which Texas football players are currently in the NFL during the 2016 season?

Texas football has produced plenty of players for the NFL, often having a handful of picks for the annual draft. The first-round selections have decreased in recent years, but that hasn’t stopped the professional football teams from selecting Longhorns in the middle of the selection process. Plenty of them are still around in the NFL, including one veteran that was in Austin during the early 2000’s.

There is a long list of Texas football players that are playing on Sunday whether it’s as a starter, backup, or reserve. Who makes up the list of athletes who used to wear the burnt orange uniforms every fall?

The NFL season is reaching its final weeks, so this list will change heading into the league’s upcoming offseason and with the draft approaching. Some of these players will likely trade uniforms, retire, or not go unsigned after 2016 ends. Then there’s someone like D’Onta Foreman, who is set to be in the 2017 NFL Draft. What team could he end up on?

The presence of Texas football players in the NFL is large and will continue to be as along as players are properly developed or perform well in school. The next group in 2018 and beyond will be under new head coach Tom Herman. How many players will he send to the NFL from Austin?
