Former Auburn running back Tank Bigsby is on the move to another NFL team. The ex-Jacksonville Jaguar is being traded to the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles for 2026 fifth and sixth round selections, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The 24-year-old Bigsby was picked by the Jaguars in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft with the No. 88 selection. Bigsby rushed for 12 yards on 5 carries along with a 20-yard kickoff return in the Jaguars’ 26-10 victory vs. the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Bigsby flashed his potential last season with a pair of 100+ yard rushing performances. He rushed for 101 yards and 2 scores vs. the Colts and compiled 118 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground against the Patriots in 2024.
Bigsby played in all 17 games as a rookie and amassed 132 yards and 2 touchdowns in his first pro season.
Bigsby came out the gates strong at Auburn, earning SEC Co-Freshman of the Year in 2020 and a second-team All-SEC nod after averaging 6.0 yards per carry. During his final 2 college seasons, Bigsby compiled 20 rushing touchdowns.
From War Eagle to now the pro Eagles, it’ll be fascinating to see how this next chapter of Bigsby’s career unfolds.
