AUBURN, Ala. — The 2016 NFL draft was the quietest one for Auburn so far in the Gus Malzahn era, with only three players—offensive tackle Shon Coleman, wide receiver Ricardo Louis and defensive back Blake Countess—hearing their names called this past weekend.
Expect the Tigers to roar even louder in 2017, especially in the early rounds.
With the 2016 draft in the books, outlets across the Internet are already putting out their early projections for the 2017 class. Here at Bleacher Report, the way-too-early projections include a certain Auburn pass-rusher near the top spot on the entire board.
