The 2024 NFL draft is now in the books, and the TCU Horned Frogs had three players drafted into the professional ranks:

  • Offensive lineman Brandon Coleman | Pick No. 67 | Washington Commanders
  • Tight end Jared Wiley | Pick No. 131 | Kansas City Chiefs
  • Cornerback Josh Newton | Pick No. 149 | Cincinnati Bengals

TCU led all the collegiate programs in Texas with eight players selected in last year’s draft; with these three, the team has 11 players selected in the past two drafts, and 26 players currently on NFL rosters overall.

Wiley, Coleman, and Newton were previously invited to the NFL’s Scouting Combine in Indianapolis — a showcase for draftable talent — along with three other Frogs who weren’t drafted this weekend.

Running back Emani Bailey, one of those three players, did sign with the Kansas City Chiefs after the draft. Offensive lineman Andrew Coker signed with the Raiders, and safety Millard Bradford signed with the New Orleans Saints.

Safety Mark Perry was also signed by the Miami Dolphins.
