Day two of the NFL draft was a big day for former Auburn Tigers, as two of its’ own have found new homes.
One round after EDGE [autotag]Derick Hall[/autotag] was selected by the Seattle Seahawks, running back [autotag]Tank Bigsby[/autotag] learned that he would be heading south as he was selected 88th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Bigsby joins a talented offense in Jacksonville that includes wide receiver Calvin Ridley and tight end Evan Engram. He will play alongside Travis Etienne in the Jaguars’ backfield and will receive handoffs from quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars ended last season with a 9-8 record and made it to the AFC divisional round.
Day three of the NFL draft gets underway Saturday at 11 a.m. CT. Several names of note to watch for on Saturday include [autotag]Colby Wooden[/autotag], [autotag]Owen Pappoe[/autotag], and [autotag]Eku Leota[/autotag].
