The Broncos were ecstatic that Barron fell to them at pick No. 20 -- and his versatility will give them options on defense.

Cory Mose of KVUE News reported that several current and former Longhorns were in attendance, including lifelong friends and fellow NFL draft prospects running back Tahj Brooks and pass rusher Princely Umanmielen. The list of attendees also included Toronto Raptors guard Jamal Shead, an Austin native.

Jahdae Barron became one of the six Texas Longhorns to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft these past three years.
