Hey, they gettin' paid,  From this point on, it doesn't matter where they wind up.  $$$  Congrats to all of them.  Austin Golson will be the ultimate steal of the draft.  Most versatile player out there.

So nobody needs a pass rusher!
Holland still on board with 6 picks left!

Would a senior year have improved his draft status?

Former Prattville Lion greats Austin Golson and Kamryn Pettway both have signed Undrafted Free Agent Contracts to play in the NFL. Golson signed with the New York Jets while Pettway has signed with the Minnesota Vikings. Congrats to both young men. Continue to make the Lion Nation proud.

Undrafted Free Agent - Denver Broncos - Jeff Holland (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/270114/jeff-holland)
Here’s the most surprising thing from this year’s draft. Jeff Holland was one of the most disruptive players in the SEC, leading Auburn in sacks in 2017. He doesn’t have prototypical size for a defensive end in the NFL, but he’s going to be heading to a place that needs some help in the pass rush game. The Broncos recorded only 33 sacks last year (22nd in the NFL), which is sort of surprising for a team that’s had as many fantastic speed rushers as the Broncos have had over the past few years.
Undrafted Free Agent - Minnesota Vikings - Tray Matthews (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/207423/tray-matthews)
Matthews (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/270138/tray-matthews) will get to try out to be a part of the NFL’s top defense last year. The Vikings were 2nd in the NFL in rushing defense, and the same in passing D. It’ll be tough to crack the lineup, but Tray’s got good size and likely just needs to show his best stuff after overcoming some lingering injury issues.

Undrafted Free Agent - Philadelphia Eagles - Stephen Roberts (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/78858/stephen-roberts)
Stephen Roberts (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/248190/stephen-roberts) might have been the Tigers’ longest shot to get drafted, despite his exceptionally solid play in the back end in 2017. Remember his tackle on Bo Scarborough that basically ended Alabama’s offensive game in the Iron Bowl? He can hang with the big boys and he’s great at rebounding to make plays after allowing something to happen. I think he can stick around for a while, since the Eagles’ defensive backfield isn’t super deep after the great starting lineup.
Undrafted Free Agent - Minnesota Vikings - Kam Pettway
We’ve all seen what Kam Pettway can do when he’s fully healthy and engaged. He needs to show that every single day in the upcoming camps for the Vikings. Pettway’s got the wiggle to be a bruiser in the NFL, and when he gets moving he’s got enough speed to do some damage. Lingering injury issues and off-field issues are the biggest things standing in the way of success for Kam.
Undrafted Free Agent - New York Jets - Austin Golson (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/207985/austin-golson)/Darius James (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/201235/darius-james)
For the Jets, it won’t be hard to improve in pretty much every area. They ranked in the bottom third in the league in rushing yards per carry, and were in the bottom half in total rushing yardage. They were 24th in passing offense, so there’s tons of room to move up there as well. That’s to say, no matter who’s on the front lines, Golson (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/248219/austin-golson) and James (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/270119/darius-james) have as good a shot as anyone to make the roster to help protect Sam Darnold (http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/players/268769/sam-darnold).
Undrafted Free Agent - New York Jets - Tre’ Williams
It’s a similar story for the Jets and Tre’ Williams on defense. They need some help. New York ranked in the bottom third in passing and rushing defense, and Williams is a guy that can bring some much needed toughness into the middle of the front seven. Like some other UFA Tigers, Williams needs to show that he can avoid the injuries that sidelined him toward the end of the season.
