Texas Longhorns offensive tackle Christian Jones was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
AUSTIN -- Texas Longhorns offensive tackle Christian Jones was an unquestioned leader for the 2023 squad this past season, but his journey to the NFL was never quite as clear as some of his teammates.
Jones will now be blocking for former Oklahoma Sooners star quarterback Kyler Murray on an offense that also added Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr. with the fourth overall pick. Jones' addition might not get recognized by the national media just yet, but his presence could prove crucial for a Cardinals team that's looking to build around its 2024 draft class.
"Because of the fact that he hasn’t play a ton of football relative to most guys, I think his best days are ahead of him," Sarkisian said, per Texas Athletics."His development is not complete, he can continue to grow as a player and inevitably be a really productive player at the professional level. The Cardinals are lucky to have him, as a player, teammate and awesome representative of their franchise in every way.
