Auburn offensive lineman Braden Smith was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts with the 37th overall pick in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft Friday. Smith’s selection makes him the first Auburn football player taken in this year’s draft.
Smith played in 53 games as a Tiger, including 41 consecutive starts to end his career. He started at right guard in all 14 of Auburn’s games last season and helped block for an Auburn offense that averaged 451.6 yards per game.
Braden Smith is one of the best I’ve coached. The @Colts are going to love him.
