NFL draft recap: A look at Auburn's picks, UDFA signings

[ASFN Admin]

The 2025 NFL draft has concluded, and three Auburn Tigers heard their name called during the three-day event.

After going quiet in day one and day two of the draft, Auburn's Saturday was busy as Jarquez Hunter, KeAndre Lambert-Smith, and Jalen McLeod were all selected on day three. Hunter was first, going to the Los Angeles Rams with their fourth round pick. Lambert-Smith was next as he was taken by the other Los Angeles team, the Chargers, in the fifth round. McLeod rounded out the day by being taken 194th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he will join fellow former Tigers Tank Bigsby and Daniel Thomas.

When the dust settled on Saturday, eight more Tigers turned professional by signing undrafted free agent contracts. Their road to Sunday's will be challenging, but they will have the opportunity to show their skills in front of NFL coaches, which could land them a spot on an NFL roster.
