The All-American cornerback should hear his name called in the first round of the NFL draft this offseason.
Roger McCreary is opting out of Auburn’s bowl game and prepping for the 2022 NFL draft.
On Christmas, Matt Miller of The Draft Scout (paid subscription), released a Christmas Day mock draft and the Auburn Tiger found himself in the first round.
He had McCreary slated to go the Cincinnati Bengals with the 25th overall pick.
Here’ what miller wrote about the selection.
“I really wanted an offensive tackle for the Bengals here, but none are on the board. That’s a situation to monitor in free agency or even a draft-day trade up. For now, we address a secondary that could still use help with the stout, sticky cover man Roger McCreary.”
The mock draft was two rounds and McCreary was the only Auburn Tiger mentioned. Former Auburn quarterback Malik Willis was paired up with the Washington Football team with the 11th pick.
