The 2021 NFL Draft has come and gone, and while no former Auburn football studs were selected in the first round (or second) like in 2020, there were several Tiger alumni that heard their names called on day two and three.
Anthony Schwartz was the highest selected Auburn man, being taken in the third round by the Cleveland Browns. Seth Williams was the other former Bo Nix/Jarrett Stidham target to be selected, as two players on each side of the ball realizing their dream.
The first defensive player taken in the first round, Jamien Sherwood, was the first 2021 NFL Draft pick to sign on the bottom line on his rookie contract.
