25 former Tigers make NFL rosters; practice-squad signings begin

The next wave of Tigers in the NFL has been made official.

Twenty-five former Auburn players, including five of six from the team's 2020 draft class, appeared on 53-man NFL rosters as the league deadline came and went Saturday afternoon.

Those who have been waived during the roster cuts will now vie for spots on practice squads.

Three former Tigers currently sit on their respective teams' injured reserve or unable to perform lists: Buccaneers receiver John Franklin III, who had 430 rushing yards as a quarterback in Auburn's offense in 2016, Jaguars defensive tackle Dontavius Russell, who started 49 games along the Tigers' D-line from 2016-19, and Patriots linebacker Brandon King, who has been a special-teams standout for the Pats during a few Super Bowl runs. They currently don't count toward their teams' 53-man lists.

A couple handfuls of former Auburn players were waived leading up to the roster deadline, including Eagles sixth-round draft pick Prince Tega Wanogho, Patriots receiver Will Hastings and Bills receiver Duke Williams.

Here's a look at which teams will include some Auburn flavor on their rosters this season.
