“I think I’m ready to take the next step,” Endries told ESPN on Friday. “I really enjoyed my four years in college, but I thought it was time to move on and chase my dream of making it to the NFL.”
Endris has started all 39 games over the past three seasons, proving durability and reliability to potential NFL teams. The California native said he’s grateful for the Texas coaching staff.
“The coaching is at the highest level,” Endris told ESPN. “We’re a team that’s persistent. Practice and coaching are what make the difference. I think I’ve gotten better at blocking and catching the ball. When you come here, you come here to improve. That’s what happened.
