Tannehill two-step
Three-time first-team Academic All-Big XII QB RYAN TANNEHILL completed 327 passes in 2011, a Texas A&M single-season record, while his 29 touchdown passes in 2011 place second in team annals. Tannehill can become the first Texas A&M quarterback to be selected in the first round since the advent of the common draft in 1967.
It would be the second consecutive season the Aggie’s had a first-round selection. In 2011, the Denver Broncos selected LB VON MILLER with the second overall pick.
Below are the Texas A&M quarterbacks selected in the NFL Draft since 1967:
