Social media roasts the Texas Longhorns who had zero players selected in the 2022 NFL draft
The Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns combined for seven selections in the 2022 NFL draft. And Oklahoma had the seven.
One of the more entertaining aspects of the draft weekend was the notable absence of a Texas Longhorns player getting selected. There were 262 picks made over the three-day event and zero Longhorns were chosen. Zero.
A Texas team that had the third-best recruiting class in 2018 and 2019 and a top 10 class in 2020 couldn’t get one player taken in the draft. They were one of three Big 12 schools to not have a player taken. The other two were TCU and West Virginia, not exactly schools that have been sitting at the top of the conference.
As you would guess, social media had a field day roasting the Texas Longhorns for their lacking presence during the 2022 NFL draft. If you love wading through a sea of burnt orange sadness, scroll with us as we share with you some of the best roasts of Texas Longhorns football.

Boom, Roasted!
Now I see why Texas is pushing NIL to recruits so hard… cause it’s the last paycheck they’ll get for football!
7 rounds, 0 draft picks🤮🤘🏻

Crazy, when you think about it
Texas has arguably more money and resources than any other school in the country. And yet they can’t produce ONE NFL Draft pick. That’s sad.
But they may win the Big 12 next year.

Hard to argue against it
Is there a bigger bust in the history of recruiting classes than the 2019 Texas Class? (#3 Nationally)
They signed 8 top 150 players and Whittington and Roschon are the only two in the entire class that have shown anything worthy of a combine invite, much less a draft pick.— Jorfi (@JorfiD) April 29, 2022
Aggies, you aren't exempt
Eleven of the first 40 picks in the NFL Draft played Texas high school football. None of them went to Texas or Texas A&M. Incredible.

Still true after 7 rounds
After 2 rounds of the NFL Draft, Gonzaga and Texas have had the same amount of players drafted!
Gonzaga doesn’t have a football team…
— Aggie Sports 365 (@365Aggie) April 30, 2022
Woof
The Texas Longhorns football program had player selected in every draft from 1939 to 2013.
It has been skunked twice in the last 10 years — 2014 and 2022.

A great question
How does the University of Texas not have a single player selected in the NFL Draft?

Not a great start to the Steve Sarkisian era
Mack Brown’s final year featured zero NFL draft picks. Charlie Strong’s last year featured a loss to Kansas. Tom Herman’s last year featured a defense that gave up 30+ points to Oklahoma after halftime.

Which UT is greater?
Funfact: Tennessee had more players drafted in the 2nd round than Texas did the ENTIRE NFL draft
Tell me again who is the real UT

A new record
The Texas Longhorns have set the all-time record for lowest number of players selected in NFL Draft history.
— RedditCFB (@RedditCFB) April 30, 2022
Not one
Not one Texas Longhorn heard their named called at the 2022 NFL draft.
— Andrew Hammond (@ahammFreePress) April 30, 2022
All that money spent and nothing to show for it
So you mean to tell me that Texas didn't have enough money to buy off Ochaun Mathis AND they didn't have one player selected in the 2022 NFL Draft? Talk about a poverty program 😂
— Seth Oliveras (@SethOliveras) April 30, 2022
27 straight drafts seems good. Is that good?
The Sooners have had players selected in the last 27 NFL Drafts.(Big 12 Active Streak)
The Longhorns have failed to have a draft selection twice in the last decade. #OUDNA #AllGasNoBreaks

Just sit this one out
Texas fans need to pipe down for the next week after this draft lol

Texas, what are you doing?
.@GregSankey I'm sorry Texas embarrassed our league with zero draft selections.
