The top NFL draft prospect for the Auburn Tigers this year is cornerback Roger McCreary.
He was one of the most consistent cornerbacks during his time on The Plains. This past season he finished with two interceptions and 14 passes defended. During McCreary’s career at Auburn, he accounted for 135 tackles, 10 TFLs, six interceptions, 30 passes defended, and one pick-six.
Pro Football Focus graded McCreary with an 89.7 coverage grade. His overall defense grade was 89.9, both were career-best marks for McCreary. Teams converted just 45.3% of pass attempts against him in coverage with just one touchdown allowed. He continually got better during his time at Auburn. It should come as no surprise that the addition of Zac Etheridge as the second coach seems to have jump-started his ascension.
As McCreary prepares for the NFL Combine that begins in a few days, we look at his NFL comparison and best team fits.
