Auburn football: Taking a look at the Tigers’ top 2021 draft prospects

Junior wide receiver Seth Williams is arguably Auburn’s best player going into the 2020 season so it’s not a surprise that he’s seen as the team’s top NFL prospect as well.

Williams had an excellent season as a freshman in 2018 and followed that up with an even better season last year recording 59 catches for 830 yards and eight touchdowns.

Big things are expected out of Williams in 2020 as he has another season to generate chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix.

Williams also has ideal NFL size at 6-foot-3 and 224 pounds with athleticism and hands to match. That is part of the reason why many believe Williams could be an early first-round selection next season if he forgoes his senior year.

In Walterfootball.com’s most recent 2021 mock draft, he has Williams going 15th overall to the New York Giants which would pair him up with another former Tiger wideout in Darius Slayton.
