Here we take a look at Auburn football players most likely to be drafted into the NFL.
With Senior Bowl practices in full swing this week, college football players hoping to be drafted by NFL teams in late April are beginning the process of showing their skills and talents to coaches and scouts. Auburn football will look to add to their list of NFL draftees this spring.
As expected, the Cleveland Browns have the first pick in the seven-round draft, while the San Francisco 49ers and Jacksonville Jaguars each have 12 picks.
Auburn has three players at the Senior Bowl — defensive tackle Montravius Adams, safety Jonathan “Rudy” Ford and offensive lineman Robert Leff. All three have a chance of being drafted, but it’s unlikely any of them will be the first Tiger off the board on April 27.
Meanwhile, wide receiver Tony Stevens and offensive lineman Alex Kozan worked out and played the East-West Shrine Game last weekend in St. Petersburg, Florida.
