Linebacker Jason Phillips was the first pick in the fifth round by the Baltimore Ravens, before three Horned Frogs were taken in the sixth round and another in the seventh.

Linebacker Robert Henson went to the Washington Redskins, tailback Aaron Brown to the Detroit Lions and outside linebacker Stephen Hodge to the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round. Hodge was a safety at TCU. Center Blake Schlueter was a seventh-round pick of the Denver Broncos.

The five picks are the most for TCU since the 2001 draft when six Horned Frogs were selected. Henson, Brown and Hodge were taken in a span of 12 picks.

TCU had the most draft picks of any football program in the state of Texas while tying for 10th-best nationally.

The Horned Frogs have now had 21 players drafted in the eight-year tenure of head coach Gary Patterson.
