AUSTIN -- The Texas Longhorns could be set to make program history in the 2025 NFL Draft after seeing three players get selected in the first round for the first time since 1980.

The New Orleans Saints got things started with offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. at No. 9 overall followed by cornerback Jahdae Barron to the Denver Broncos at No. 20. The draft host Green Bay Packers then selected wide receiver Matthew Golden with the No. 23 overall pick.
