Auburn's 5 players drafted ties for second most during modern era of NFL Draft
AUBURN — The 2023 NFL Draft has come and gone. Auburn football finished with five players drafted, the most since six players were drafted in the 2020 and 2019 drafts.

Among those undrafted: Eku Leota, Shedrick Jackson, John Samuel Shenker, Brandon Council, Kilian Zierer, Marquis Burks, Morris Joseph, Marcus Bragg.
