Robert Leff has had quite the introduction to life as an NFL player. The former Auburn standout right tackle, named as an All-SEC first team performer by Pro Football Focus and an All-SEC second team member by the AP and Athlon Sports, has been signed by the Green Bay Packers Tuesday. Leff went undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft but was signed by Atlanta, only to be cut a month later.
Leff played in 53 career games with 15 starts at Auburn. The former Tiger started all 13 games last season at right tackle for Auburn. Now he’ll have another shot to impress a pro team in hopes of making it on the final roster by the end of training camp.
Congratulations to Robert Leff on signing with the @Packers!
