Updated: Sep. 07, 2023, 8:10 a.m.|

By Mark Inabinett | minabinett@al.com

Thirty-seven former Auburn players are on NFL rosters as the league prepares to kick off its 104th season on Thursday night.

Twenty-seven of the former Tigers are on one of the NFL’s 53-player active rosters, making them eligible for action on the first weekend of the 2023 season.

Another eight are on practice squads and could be elevated to active status before their games.

Two of the Auburn alumni are on season-ending injured reserve.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have the most former Auburn players with four. The Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the most Auburn alumni on their active rosters with three apiece.

By position, Auburn has seven defensive backs, six defensive linemen, six linebackers, five offensive linemen, four wide receivers, two kickers, two quarterbacks, two tight ends, one snapper, one punter and one running back on NFL rosters.

Ten of the players are rookies – five on active rosters, four on practice squads and one on injured reserve.

During the NFL’s 2022 campaign, 26 former Auburn players appeared in regular-season games. That was the fewest since 2013, a drop of six players from 2021 and a continued decline from the program high of 36 reached in 2016.

Auburn NFL Week 1: Carlton Davis seals Bucs’ win

 Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis picked a perfect time for his first pass breakup of the 2023 NFL season.

Over the past four seasons, only one NFL player has recorded more passes defended than Davis, who had 60. Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry, a former Pleasant Grove High School and Samford star, has 64 in that span.

On Sunday in the Buccaneers’ 20-17 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, Davis got his first one for 2023 on the opening Sunday of the season.

Davis got his pass breakup on what turned out to be the final snap of the game for the Minnesota offense.

The Bucs had their hands full with Minnesota All-Pro Justin Jefferson, who had nine receptions for 150 yards. But Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins tried to connect with wide receiver Jordan Addison on a third-and-7 pass from the Minnesota 28-yard line, and Davis made a play on the ball to cause an incompletion with 4:03 remaining.

The Vikings punted and never regained possession as Tampa Bay ran out the clock on a three-point victory.

Davis also made six tackles against Minnesota.

Davis was among the 22 former Auburn players who got on the field on the first Sunday of the NFL’s 104th season.

Two other former Auburn players were involved in the Tampa Bay-Minnesota game:

· Buccaneers linebacker K.J. Britt (Oxford) did not record any stats.

· Jamel Dean started at cornerback for the Buccaneers. Dean made five tackles.

In the other Sunday games:

Atlanta Falcons 24, Carolina Panthers 10

· Derrick Brown started at defensive tackle for the Panthers. Brown led Carolina with nine tackles, including eight solo stops. Brown set a personal single-game high for solo tackles. His tackles included one sack and two tackles for loss. Brown equaled his sack total for the 2022 season in the 2023 opener.

· Panthers outside linebacker Eku Leota is on the practice squad and not eligible to play.

· Panthers linebacker Chandler Wooten did not record any stats.

Baltimore Ravens 25, Houston Texans 9

Auburn NFL roundup: Darius Slayton in middle of Giants’ historic rally

Week 2

By Mark Inabinett | minabinett@al.com

The New York Giants pulled off their biggest comeback since 1949, and wide receiver Darius Slayton was in the middle of the 31-28 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

Slayton caught three passes for 69 yards after going without a reception in the first half, which ended with the Cardinals leading 20-0 after the Giants had been shut out in their season-opening game last week.

Slayton caught a 29-yard pass from quarterback Daniel Jones to move the Giants to the Arizona 32-yard line during an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that cut the Cardinals’ lead to 28-14 with 3:27 left in the third quarter.

Slayton had a 15-yard reception to start a 13-play, 80-yard touchdown drive that reduced Arizona’s lead to 28-21 with 8:51 to play.

Slayton caught an 18-yard pass to put the Giants in the Cardinals’ end of the field at the Arizona 36-yard line on their final possession, which ended with a 34-yard field goal by Graham Gano with 19 seconds remaining to set the final score.

After trailing 28-7 in the third quarter, New York overcame a 21-point deficit to win for the first time since 1949. That rally also came against the Cardinals – when they were the Chicago Cardinals.

“The players got to make the plays come to life and go,” Slayton said, “and I think we all understood that at halftime and got it going in the second half. … When we came out of the tunnel, we had the ball first. It’s like as an offense, you got to start believing right there because it’s important to go down there and get a touchdown. And we did score right out of the half, right? We went down and got a touchdown, and then at that point, OK, we got a little momentum.”

Slayton was among the 19 former Auburn players who got on the field on the second Sunday of the NFL’s 104th season.
