Texas football players weren't the only stars of round 2 of the 2024 NFL draft. A few burnt orange legends showed out for the 2024 NFL draft.

Aaron Williams, Leonard Davis and Jamaal Charles all made the trek to Detroit to announce picks for the Bills, Cardinals and Chiefs.

Williams played six years in the NFL, all for the Bills. He was selected with the 34th pick in the 2011 NFL draft and played in 52 games, collecting seven interceptions and 257 total tackles. On Friday night, the McNeil graduate announced Buffalo's second-round pick: Florida State receiver Keon Coleman.

Charles is one of the best running backs in Texas and Chiefs history, winning a national championship with Texas in 2005 and rushing for 7,563 yards throughout his pro career. He was drafted with the 73rd pick in the 2008 NFL draft and announced BYU OL Kingsley Suamataia as pick 63.

Davis was drafted by the Cardinals with the 2nd overall pick in the 2001 NFL draft. He spent time with the Cowboys and 49ers but represented Arizona on Friday, announcing Illinois guard Isaiah Adams as the 71st pick of the draft.
