AUSTIN, Texas — Former Texas Longhorns offensive lineman Christian Jones is now a member of the Arizona Cardinals
The former six-year Longhorn offensive lineman was taken 162nd overall by the Cardinals during the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Saturday.
Jones got into football late, starting to play in his junior year of high school, but developed into one of the Longhorns' most effective offensive linemen on the Forty Acres, starting a remarkable 48 games over his six seasons.
Coming into the draft, Jones was viewed as a raw prospect with high athletic upside. Barring an injury, it is unlikely that he will see much NFL action in his first season.
