Auburn is looking to have a little more success in the NFL Draft than they did last season. With a total of six Auburn players having been invited to the 2023 NFL Draft Combine, their odds of doing so look solid.

Those Tigers that will be attending include:

RB Tank Bigsby

DL Colby Wooden

EDGE Derick Hall

EDGE Eku Leota

LB Owen Pappoe

K Anders Carlson

Derick Hall, a stud defensive end for the Tigers for three seasons, has been mocked around the late first-round to early second-round. Pappoe is a second/third-round player according to experts. Leota has third-round value but it is unclear as to whether or not a team wants to take that chance on him considering he barely played this season. Bigsby and Wooden both have third-round value as well.

Auburn only had one player selected in the 2022 NFL Draft with Roger McCreary going as the 35th overall pick to the Tennessee Titans in the second-round.

The Tigers' last first-round selections came in 2019, when DT Derrick Brown and CB Noah Igbinoghene were taken at No. 7 and No. 30 in the draft.
