AUSTIN, Texas — Former Longhorns defensive tackle Keondre Coburn was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Coburn was widely projected to be a Day 3 pick, as he consistently ranked in the middle tier among defensive tackle prospects during the pre-draft process, as did his former defensive line teammate, Moro Ojomo.
Coburn was a 4-year contributor for the Longhorns, totaling 94 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks throughout his career.
Coburn is raw, and his status as a Day 3 pick means he will almost certainly be a backup in his rookie season. However, his size and tackling prowess will be valued by the Chiefs while defending during run downs and in goal line defensive packages.
