62 Days Until Kickoff: Who’s Your Favorite No. 62?

[Blake Munroe]

We’re 62 days away from Texas football.

Today’s No. 62 group features Lyle Sendlein, June James and current Longhorn Connor Robertson.

Sendlein is the headliner here. A starter on the 2005 national championship team, First-Team All-Big 12 in 2006, and a guy who finished his Texas career with 39 straight starts. He then carved out a really solid NFL career with the Cardinals, playing 136 games with 124 starts over nine seasons.

June James was a four-year Longhorn and starting linebacker during the Fred Akers era before being drafted by the Lions in 1985 and spending time with Detroit and Indianapolis.

And the current No. 62 is Connor Robertson, a senior offensive lineman who has played in 30 career games with eight starts and brings Academic All-Big 12 honors with him.

Bob McKay #62.

College Football HOF

Consensus All-American 1969

1st Round Draft Pick Cleveland Browns

Nine Year NFL Career

1978 - RT on New England Patriot team that set season record for rushing.  Record stood until 2010.

 

I like all of the Longhorns pictured above, but you really need to go back and add McKay, as he is hands down th most recognized #62 in our history.  He also has an understated sense of humor and lives in Austin.  Would be a VERY good guest for OTF imo.

You beat me to it and I totally agree! I was going to say there was a consensus all American that played for the 69 national champions that wore #62 and he was pretty doggone good: Bob McKay!

That’s a dang good one. Occasionally, I’ll admit, we do miss them. Keeping up with hundreds of players across 100 diff numbers is definitely a tall task.

I like Sendlein, but my favorite Sendlein was his dad Robin, who I think is overlooked these days.  May be my second favorite LB behind Nobis.

NO. 61???  Bud McFadin, who else?
