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

Jonathan Jones – New England Patriots – 83 overall (+7)

Jones has been one of Auburn’s biggest success stories in the pros. Despite a great career ay Auburn, Jones went undrafted in 2016. After being a special teams ace to start his career, Jones’ role has grown year by year.

Last season, Jones played in 15 games and made nine starts while recording 53 tackles, eight passes defended and two forced fumbles. Jones is now one of New England’s best defensive players which is why he’s Auburn’s second-highest rated player.

Carlton Davis – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 77 overall (+6)

Davis was a lockdown corner for Auburn and an All-American in 2017. That is a big reason why Davis was drafted in the second round in 2018.

Davis has stepped in right away as a starter for Tampa Bay and last year, the 6-foot-1 corner had a breakout year where he ranked second in the NFL with 19 passes defended. If Davis continues to improve, he could see his rating skyrocket even more.

Jamel Dean – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 76 overall (+8)

A year after drafting Davis he second round, Tampa Bay doubled down on Auburn CBs by drafting Jamel Dean in the third round.

Dean impressed at the NFL Combine and was able to make an immediate impact for the Bucs. Dean appeared in 13 games, made five starts and recorded 21 tackles, two interceptions and ranked fourth in the NFL with 17 passes defended.

Noah Igbinoghene – Miami Dolphins – 70 overall (R)

Igbinoghene came to Auburn as a receiver before transitioning to cornerback. Despite not having a ton of experience at the position, Igbinoghene’s natural talent led to him being drafted in the first round in 2020.

The 30th pick of the draft, Igbinoghene may not be a starter from day one but clearly, the potential is there.

Neiko Thorpe – Seattle Seahawks – 64 overall (+0)

Thorpe is yet another example of an Auburn player going undrafted and putting together a solid NFL career.

Thorpe is now entering his eighth season in the league and his fifth with the Seahawks. He’s not a starter on the team but he is a part of the rotation.

Javaris Davis – Miami Dolphins – 63 overall (R)

For whatever reason, Davis is the only one of Auburn’s eight 2020 undrafted free agents to have a Madden rating.

Davis was a great corner for Auburn over the past few seasons but despite running a blazing fast 4.3 forty-yard dash, Davis wouldn’t hear his name called on draft day.

Davis was picked up the Kansas City Chiefs but was recently waived only to land on his feet with Miami.
