AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Shon Coleman, whose inspirational story of beating cancer on his way to becoming a stalwart in Auburn's offensive line, is leaving the Tigers a year early and will enter the NFL Draft.

Coleman said Wednesday he's leaving Auburn with fond memories, thanking the school "for giving me the opportunity to play and staying with me even when things were tough. They stood with me," Coleman said. "To be able to play, and help this program out, was a blessing for me. I thank them for that.
