Best photos from Auburn’s Pro Day

The Tigers held their annual pro day and it was well attended.

Auburn held its 2023 Pro Day Tuesday and it was a star-studded event.

Not only were [autotag]Derick Hall[/autotag], [autotag]Colby Wooden[/autotag], [autotag]Anders Carlson[/autotag], [autotag]Eku Leota[/autotag], [autotag]Owen Pappoe[/autotag], [autotag]Tank Bigsby[/autotag], [autotag]Shedrick Jackson[/autotag], [autotag]John Samuel Shenker[/autotag], [autotag]Marcus Bragg[/autotag], [autotag]Killian Zierer[/autotag], [autotag]Brandon Council[/autotag], [autotag]Marquis Burks[/autotag], [autotag]Caylin Newton[/autotag], [autotag]Morris Joseph[/autotag] in attendance but so was [autotag]Cam Newton[/autotag].

The former Heisman winner and national champion was a late addition and threw for his brother. Cam Newton hasn’t been on an NFL team since 2021 after a brief stint with the New England Patriots.

The event gave Auburn’s draft hopefuls a chance to show what they can do in front of NFL scouts and potentially move up draft boards. Here are the top photos from Auburn’s pro day.

2022 Auburn football preview: Edge

Derick Hall and Eku Leota are a great 1-2 punch at edge but Auburn needs someone to step up behind them.

The edge group is one of the most interesting positions on Auburn’s roster.

[autotag]Derick Hall[/autotag] and [autotag]Eku Leota [/autotag] have proven they are productive players in the SEC and are likely headed to the NFL after this season.

The concern is the lack of depth behind them, the Tigers have just three scholarship players behind them. Western Kentucky transfer [autotag]Marcus Bragg[/autotag], redshirt freshman [autotag]Dylan Brooks[/autotag], and [autotag]Joko Willis[/autotag], who is transitioning from linebacker.

With Hall and Leota leading the way there is no concern about the production of the group, but if either one of them were to suffer an injury then things could get dicey for Auburn.

Auburn receives boost at EDGE from Transfer Portal

Auburn landed graduate transfer Marcus Bragg from Western Kentucky, filling a position need on defense.

Auburn Football filled an important need on defense Sunday.

According to Auburn Live, graduate transfer [autotag]Marcus Bragg[/autotag] of Western Kentucky has announced his commitment to Auburn, using his final year of eligibility to play for head coach [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag] and the Tigers.

Bragg’s commitment comes after taking a visit to the Plains this weekend. While in Auburn, Bragg says that Auburn provides an atmosphere that makes him feel welcome.

“While on my official visit, I was surrounded by great people,” Bragg told Auburn Live. “I felt the love. Everyone was so welcoming. The atmosphere at Auburn is way better than anywhere I’ve been.”

Bragg met with EDGE coach [autotag]Roc Bellantoni[/autotag], defensive coordinator [autotag]Jeff Schmedding[/autotag], as well as Harsin during his visit. After discussions with those three coaches, he says that he feels that he can thrive in Auburn’s defensive scheme.

“I chose Auburn because it best fits my athletic abilities on the field,” Bragg said. “I will be able to make a lot of plays because of the defensive scheme.”

Bragg played three seasons for the Hilltoppers, where he recorded a total of 38 tackles with three tackles for loss. Last season, Bragg appeared in 14 games for Western Kentucky, where he made 26 stops and 2.5 sacks. His best game of the 2021 season was against UTSA, where he made four tackles.

The addition of Bragg provides needed depth at the EDGE position. Bragg joins Derick Hall, Eku Leota, and Dylan Brooks as scholarship players at the position. Hall led the unit in tackles last season with 52, which included a team-leading nine sacks. Hall and Leota led the tackles for loss category with 12.5 and 10.0 respectively.
