Auburn football: A complete breakdown of every former Tiger in Madden 21

Dee Ford (LE) – San Fransisco 49ers – 85 overall (+1)

Not only is Dee Ford the highest-rated Auburn player in the game, but he is also one of two former Tigers (Cam Newton) currently in the NFL to have a Pro Bowl to their name.

After five successful years with the Kansas City Chiefs, the 6-foot-2, 252-pound pass rusher would be traded to the Niners. In his first season with the NFC Champions, Ford recorded 14 tackles, six tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks.

Carl Lawson (RE) – Cincinnati Bengals – 80 overall (-1)

Carl Lawson’s NFL career got off to a great start as the former Auburn DE recorded 8.5 sacks despite starting just one game. However, just like at Auburn, injuries have kept Lawson from reaching his full potential.

Lawson has played a combined 19 games in the last two seasons and has only started two but when he’s healthy, the fourth-year pro can still make a big impact.

Marlon Davidson (LE) – Atlanta Falcons – 71 overall (R)

One part of Auburn’s dominant defensive line from last season, Davidson was drafted in the second round of this past draft.

On a Falcons team that ranked 31st in the league in sacks per game last season, Davidson should have a solid chance to raise his rating.

Angelo Blackson (RE) – Houston Texans – 68 overall (+0)

Blackson recorded 17 total sacks in his Auburn career which enticed the Tennessee Titans to draft him in the fourth round in 2015.

After stints with Tennessee and New England, Blackson has played the last three seasons in Houston and started 15 games for the team last season.

Montravius Adams (RE) – Green Bay Packers – 65 overall (-1)

Adams was a four-year starter on The Plains as a defensive tackle and he turned that success into getting drafted by the Packers in the third round of the 2017 draft.

However, while Adams came into Green Bay with fairly high expectations and has appeared in plenty of games, he has only made three total starts in his first three seasons.

Derrick Brown – Carolina Panthers – 78 overall (R)

Defensive tackle is one of Auburn’s deepest positions in the pros and at the top of it all is one of the best players in recent Auburn history.

After a dominant career at Auburn, Brown was drafted seventh overall by the Carolina Panthers and is expected to be the anchor of their defense for years to come.

Dontavius Russell – Jacksonville Jaguars – 64 overall (+0)

After starting 49 games during his Auburn career, Russell was drafted in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

The defensive tackle appeared in three games for the Jags last year and recorded four total tackles.

Byron Cowart – New England Patriots – 63 overall (+0)

The highest-rated recruit in Auburn history, Cowart may have flamed out at Auburn but after transferring to Maryland, Cowart made the NFL as a 2019 fifth-round pick by the Patriots.

Cowart played five games as a rookie and made two tackles last season.

Devaroe Lawrence – Kansas City Chiefs – 61 overall (+0)

A former JUCO transfer, Lawrence went undrafted in 2017. Since then, he has earned solid playing time with the Cleveland Browns appearing in 11 games with the team last season.

After being waived by the Browns in 2019, Lawrence was signed to the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad.

DaVonte Lambert – Carolina Panthers – 60 overall  (+0)

Lambert was one of the top JUCO prospects in the nation before coming to Auburn and starting at defensive end for two seasons.

Lambert began his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a two year NFL absence, Lambert signed with the Carolina Panthers this offseason.
