Oklahoma extended its nation-leading streak to 15 straight years producing at least four NFL Draft picks. OU's seven overall selections led the Big 12 and were tied with Alabama for the fifth most of any program. The seven picks were also tied for OU's second most in a single draft since 2005 (it had eight draftees in 2019). OU now has 409 all-time NFL Draft picks, fourth most nationally.
