The Auburn Tigers have experienced a dramatic decline in football performance over the past few years, failing to finish ranked in the AP Top 25 or achieve more than six wins in any season from 2020 to 2024. This downturn has culminated in a dismal 2025 NFL Draft, where only three players were selected, marking a historic low for the program. Notably, this is just the third time in 30 years that Auburn has had fewer than four draft picks, with none making it to the first four rounds. Running back Jarquez Hunter was picked by the Los Angeles Rams at 117th overall, while KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Jalen McLeod were later selected by the Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars, respectively. The once-proud program that sent multiple players to the NFL is facing a significant challenge in rebuilding.
