OL Connor Lew
Round 4, Pick 128, Cincinnati Bengals
Auburn offensive lineman Connor Lew was selected 128th overall in the fourth round by the Cincinnati Bengals Saturday on day three of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Lew, a team captain this past season, started 25 games at center in his three years at Auburn, including the first seven in 2025 before suffering a season-ending injury. He was Auburn’s highest-graded offensive lineman in four of the seven games he played before the injury.
“Good for him,” said NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah. “This is someone who seven games in tore his ACL. He's going to work his way back into health. If he has a full healthy process – he's not there at this point in time – he's very smart, he's very tough, he's got a nice firm, wide base. You see that in pass protection. He's also able to get on guys and move them in the run game.
“To me, it's great to see a young man who has persevered through this injury get back healthy and get a chance to get back on the grass.”
Lew is the first Auburn offensive lineman drafted since 2020 when Jack Driscoll and Prince Tega Wanogho were both selected. He’s the 12th Auburn player to be taken by the Bengals and first since Deshaun Davis in 2019.
OL Jeremiah Wright
Round 4, Pick 132, New Orleans Saints
Auburn offensive lineman Jeremiah Wright was selected 132nd overall in the fourth round by the New Orleans Saints Saturday on day three of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Wright started all 24 games at right guard for Auburn the last two seasons. As a senior in 2025, he led the team with 33 knockdown blocks and earned a grade of 90 percent or higher in five games. He began his career as a defensive lineman.
“In the run game, he can really unearth guys,” NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said. “You watch his ability to get them up and get them off their spot. To me, that’s one of his strengths. You’re drafting him for what he does in the run game. He’s a converted defensive tackle, so you’re going to need some more time with him in pass protection.”
Wright is the second Auburn offensive lineman off the board in this year’s draft, going four spots after teammate and fellow lineman Connor Lew.

DT Bobby Jamison-Travis
Round 6, Pick 186, New York Giants
Auburn defensive lineman Bobby Jamison-Travis was selected 186th overall in the sixth round by the New York Giants Saturday on day three of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Jamison-Travis, a former junior-college standout, started all 12 games at nose tackle for Auburn this past season and had a career-high 36 tackles, leading all Auburn interior linemen. He recorded two tackles for loss and added two pass breakups.
“He’s a tough guy to move in the middle of that defense,” ESPN analyst Field Yates said. “The Giants recently traded away Dexter Lawrence. They needed a nose tackle to kind of replace him in the middle of the defense. This gives them a bit of an opportunity to do exactly that.”
With Jamison-Travis getting the call, Auburn has now had five or more players drafted in three of the last four NFL drafts with a total of 18 former Tigers drafted over that span.
Edge Keyron Crawford
Round 3, Pick 67, Las Vegas Raiders
Auburn edge rusher Keyron Crawford was selected 67th overall in the third round by the Las Vegas Raiders Friday on day two of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Crawford is the second Auburn player to be drafted this year, joining teammate Keldric Faulk who was taken in Thursday’s first round. Since 2020, he’s the ninth former Tiger to hear his name called in the first three rounds.
A transfer from Arkansas State, Crawford played two seasons on The Plains and started all 12 games this past season, finishing with 36 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks. He ranked second on the team in both TFL and sacks and was fourth in the SEC with 43 pressures, according to PFF.
“When I watched 15 (Keldric Faulk), I would see 24 popping,” ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said. “He took a backseat in terms of national publicity to Faulk, but the explosiveness off the edge was there. He chased down running plays in pursuit. He won with power as well as that quickness. He disengaged from blocks well. I like him as a situational pass rusher in the league.”
Crawford is the first Auburn player selected by the Raiders organization since Walter McFadden was taken by the Oakland Raiders in the fifth round of the 2010 draft.
Auburn has now had at least two players picked in 12 of the last 13 NFL drafts.
DE Keldric Faulk
Round 1, Pick 31, Tennessee Titans
Keldric Faulk was selected 31st overall in the first round by the Tennessee Titans Thursday in the opening night of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Faulk is the first Auburn player selected in the first round since Derrick Brown (seventh overall) and Noah Igbinoghene (30th overall) in 2020.
He is the first Tiger selected by Tennessee since Roger McCreary was picked in the second round of the 2022 draft. Eleven former Auburn players have been drafted by the Oilers/Titans franchise all-time.
A native of Highland Home, Faulk earned All-SEC honors multiple times during his Auburn career. He finished with 109 tackles, 19.5 TFL and 10 sacks in 37 games played (32 starts).
Faulk was voted a team captain in 2025 and was a two-time SEC Media Days honoree. He started 32 consecutive games for Auburn from 2023-25.
The Tigers have now had at least one player drafted in 23 consecutive years.
