Auburn fans have known it for a while, but the NFL is catching on, Roger McCreary is a star and worthy of a first-round pick.
Dane Brugler of The Athletic released his first mock draft of the season on Tuesday and he has McCreary going to the Arizona Cardinals with the 32nd overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Here is what Brugler had to say about McCreary.
“McCreary has average size (6-0, 187) with sub-30 inch arms, but he is a quick-twitch athlete who can line up inside or outside and play sticky coverage. He has produced several impressive tapes this season (Penn State, Arkansas, Alabama) that could push him into the first round.”
McCreary has had an impressive season for Auburn, totaling 49 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, two interceptions (one pick-six), 16 defended passes, and one fumble recovery.
