Single Digit Offensive Number History

[CJ Vogel]

Sometimes you just get bored throughout the offseason. 

That is where we are today. Hopefully this conversation topic helps waste some time for folks at work!

I charted every player who has worn a single digit number on the offensive side of the football for the Texas Longhorns since 2000. 

Light green - draft pick
Green - top 3 round pick
Dark green - 1st round pick
Gold - award winner

Devin Duvernay was the only player to wear No. 6 to get Drafted.

Collin Johnson was the only player to wear No. 9 to get Draft.

That 2010-2015 stretch was brutal man.

Yeah. That is a massive hole.  A quick google search shows only 2 offensive players drafted at all during that time.  Marquise Goodwin and Geoff Swaim. Goodwin was awesome but he went "old school" with #84.  But 2 offensive draft picks over 5 years is rough.

are all of the single digit numbers on the roster this year already solidified?

It's certainly "Riddling" how a couple of coaches could oversee that kind of ineptitude.

Agree! At least with Mack you had some flashes but Charlie was just pure trainwreck. The biggest misstep Mack made imo was try to change the offense in 2010 to a power running game with a QB that specialized in spread/RPO like Gilbert did at LT.  Le Sigh, darkest time is right before the dawn right?!

That may not be a far-fetched prediction
