The Auburn Tigers currently have 42 players in the NFL, but that hasn’t translated into a huge stable of stars.

Still, the doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lot of potential. Former No. 2 overall pick Greg Robinson is making the move from left tackle to right tackle for the Rams. He’s been a major bust as a left tackle, but it’s entirely possible that the move can help turn his career around — he’s still only 24 years old.

Other former Auburn players such as OT Shon Coleman, DE Carl Lawson and DT Montravius Adams haven’t had a chance to prove themselves yet, but all three have the ability to become solid NFL starters.

As of right now, here are Auburn’s top 5 players currently playing in the NFL:

1. Cam Newton, QB, Panthers

Newton is far and away the best current NFL player to have played at Auburn. While inconsistent, he has been one of the better quarterbacks in the league since being drafted No. 1 overall during the 2011 NFL Draft.

His career started off with a bang during his rookie season when he had 4,051 passing yards, 706 rushing yards and 35 total touchdowns. His 4,051 passing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns from that season still remain career highs.

Despite losing his No. 1 receiver in Kelvin Benjamin prior to the 2015 season, Newton led the Panthers to the Super Bowl. They ended up falling to the Broncos 24-10, but it still was a magical season for Newton — he was named the NFL’s MVP.

Newton’s personality has rubbed some people the wrong way at times, but he is great player who means well. Overall, Auburn should be proud to say he was a part of their program — leading them to their first national championship since 1957.

2. Nick Fairley, DT, Saints

Fairley was the Cam Newton of Auburn’s defense during their 2010 national championship season. Like Newton, Fairley has also gone on to have a pretty successful NFL career thus far.

He was drafted No. 13 overall by the Detroit Lions back in 2011 with the hopes that he and Ndamukong Suh could form one of the most dynamic defensive tackle duos in the NFL. The two failed to live up to that kind of hype, but that doesn’t mean Fairley didn’t make an impact.

During his four-year stint with the Lions, Fairley produced 13.5 sacks, but he only managed to earn 30 regular-season starts out of a possible 64 games.

After spending a year with the Rams, Fairley signed with the New Orleans Saints before the 2016 season. He proceeded to start all 16 regular-season games for the first time in his career, and he produced career highs in solo tackles (29), total tackles (43) and sacks (6.5).

3. Dee Ford, EDGE, Chiefs

The circumstances after Ford’s arrival in Kansas City were not ideal to say the least. First off, he was raw coming out of Auburn. Secondly, he had one of the best pass-rushing duos in the NFL playing in front of him — Justin Houston and Tamba Hali.

Over the course of his first two seasons in the NFL, Ford only managed to start five games — contributing only 5.5 sacks. That all changed this past season, however.

Ford started 14 regular-season games, and he turned that into the first double-digit sack season in his NFL career (10.0 sacks). It’s starting to look like he will take on an even bigger role moving forward — Hali is now 33 years old and will need to be on a limited snap count.

4. Josh Bynes, LB, free agent

Bynes is still looking for a new home after his contract expired with the Detroit Lions, but he still deserves to be on this list.

Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Baltimore Ravens in 2011, Bynes has exceeded expectations since entering the league. He’s started 28 games over his six-year career, and he’s turned in 221 total tackles.

Those aren’t eye-popping numbers, but Bynes has defied the odds. He’s been a steady depth linebacker who can be a strong rotational piece in the right situation. Look for the Pompano Beach, Fla., native to find an NFL home very soon.

5. Jay Prosch, FB, Texans

Prosch only spent two seasons at Auburn after transferring from Illinois to be closer to his mother, who had been diagnosed with brain cancer before the 2012 season.

Following a successful career at Auburn, he was drafted by Houston in the sixth-round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Prosch has only 10 career carries and two receptions during his three-year career, but that’s not what he is known for.

According to Pro Football Focus, Prosch was the NFL’s No. 8 overall fullback last season. He’s only 24 years old, so there is still plenty of time for him to continue to develop.

Fullbacks never get the glory, but Prosch is a valuable piece for the Texans. He does a lot of the dirty work clearing the way for Lamar Miller and the other Texans’ running backs, and he also contributes on special teams.
