Texas WR Preview: How will Sarkisian unlock the Longhorn wideouts? Share this story Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Perhaps the most underwhelming position for the Texas Longhorns over the past decade has been at the wide receiver group. Since 2010, only four wideouts have been drafted and that includes Collin Johnson and Devin Duvernay, both of whom were taken in the 2020 NFL Draft.
