Auburn football had some talent from this past season sign with NFL teams as undrafted free agents. There were five former Tigers who were announced as signings.
The majority of the signings were all offensive players. Here are the Auburn products who joined the NFL as undrafted free agent signings:
- WR Shedrick Jackson, Cincinatti Bengals
- OL Brandon Council, New York Jets
- OT Kilian Zierer, Houston Texans
- Edge Eku Leota, Carolina Panthers
- TE John Samuel Shenker, Las Vegas Raiders
Eku Leota had two solid seasons at Auburn after transferring from Northwestern. Leota recorded 41 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 9 sacks for the Tigers over the last two seasons.
Zierer had himself a breakout season in 2022 as the team’s starting left tackle in all 12 games.
Council had an instant impact as soon as he transferred in from Akron after the 2019 season. He was able to start at multiple positions on the offensive line for Auburn from 2020-2022.
Hugh Freeze will be at the helm for Auburn in 2023. It’ll be interesting to see if Freeze can restore Auburn to its former glory in his return to the SEC.
