Auburn, Minnesota Hold Pro Days For NFL Hopefuls

Auburn has produced quite a few elite NFL talents over the years — none bigger, of course, than current Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.

Newton won NFL MVP honors this past season after leading the Panthers to a 15-1 regular season record behind 45 total offensive touchdowns.

This year, 13 different Auburn products are hoping to make the jump to the professional ranks with aspirations of having similar success to what Newton has experienced.

On Monday afternoon, all 13 participated in the school’s pro day.

Running back Peyton Barber surprised a lot people with his decision to leave school early after recording 1,017 yards and 13 touchdowns after his junior season, the first in which he had any sort of role on the offense.
