Kevin Sumlin: Three of the first 22 picks (T Jake Matthews, WR Mike Evans, QB Johnny Manziel) were Aggies, and T Luke Joeckel went second overall in last year's draft. Want to play in the NFL, youngster? Go to College Station and play for Coach Sumlin.


Seems to me like ATm is the loser here.
Three of the first 22 picks and they weren't even that good. Especially with the best player in their history.

That doesn't make us losers.
It means we're in the toughest division in football; and in two years, we haven't yet been able to put together all of the pieces.
Sometimes the stars just aren't aligned, ya know?
And having good players last year isn't mutually exclusive to having good players in the future.

Trust me, apart from being broken-hearted that Manziel didn't end up on a Texas pro roster, we're all feeling pretty great about the state of the program today.

Actually that is debatable. John David Crow could be considered our best player.

When you are a program that has two Heismans, one it not automatically the "best."
