Here are three former Tigers greats:
Ronnie Brown, RB San Diego Chargers: Brown combined with Jason Campbell and Carnell Williams to form a powerful backfield at Auburn. This trio led the Tigers to an undefeated season in 2004. Brown was later drafted second overall by the Miami Dolphins. In addition to appearing in the Pro Bowl, Brown has almost 5,000 yards rushing in his career.
Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers: After leading Auburn to the 2010 national championship and capturing the Heisman Trophy, Newton has taken the NFL by storm. Drafted No. 1 overall, Cam set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns in a season by a quarterback and broke Peyton Manning's rookie record for most passing yards.
Carlos Rogers, CB, San Francisco 49ers: Rogers was a leader on the undefeated Tigers squad of 2004. Rogers is the only Auburn player to win the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back. After beginning his professional career with the Washington Redskins, Rogers signed with the San Francisco 49ers and made his first Pro Bowl in 2011.

Wizzerd. I also didn't realize Bynes caught on with the Ravens. I thought he was cut at the very end last year.

Had not realized that Ziemba was on waivers after getting his knee hurt a couple of weeks ago.

It's amazing to me how so many of these guys make it on NFL rosters when they really didn't do much while they were at AU. AJ Greene sucked and didn't even like foosballz. Weskie mentioned Davis. He might have been good but if memory serves, he stayed injured throughout his career.
Neiko? I got nuthin'.
One guy I thought was a sure fire NFL prospect was Ryan Pugh. A pure center, mean as hell and anchored one of the best O-lines in the country in 2010. Did he even get drafted?
