People always attack Texas about developing top talent. One name that almost always gets brought up is Jackson Jeffcoat. He was a 5* Def End and the son of an NFL legend. He was one of the highest rated recruits to ever sign at Texas. he went undrafted.
It is really a curious case. His senior year, Jackson Jeffcoat had 13 sacks. He was the Big 12 defensive player of the year. He won the Ted Hendricks award as the nation's best Defensive End. Still, somehow, he went undrafted.
He bounced around 3 NFL teams over 3 seasons. He would play well in preseason but teams would never give him a shot to start because they hadn't invested anything in him. He has since had a long run with 1 team in the CFL.
Still, can anyone else name a player who won their conference player of the year award and also won the national award for being the best player at their position who went undrafted?
