Six Longhorns were taken in 2026 NFL Draft . But almost a dozen other UT players were hoping to hear their names called in Pittsburgh this weekend. Many of these Longhorns have already signed undrafted free agent contracts.
For the six former Texas football players drafted into the league this week, their lifelong dreams have come true. They are NFL players. Their future is still uncertain, but they are guaranteed a good salary and chances are all six will be on an NFL roster for Week 1 of the 2026 season.
But there are at least 10 other Longhorns that didn't get drafted. These include Travis Shaw, Ethan Burke, Cole Hutson and even Arch Manning's back up, Matthew Caldwell. During the draft, the players' agents are working the phones just in case their clients fall out of the top 257 players.
When the draft is over, most of the matches are already made and there's been a flurry of signings so far.
