After not hearing his name called during the NFL Draft, former Auburn football DB Jordyn Peters has realized his NFL dream anyway.

Following the conclusion of the final round of the NFL’s Draft’s three-day spectacular–which was even more spectacular in 2021 with fans in attendance following a virtual edition in 2020–Peters signed with the NY Jets as an undrafted free agent.

Peters now joins his former Tiger teammate in the Auburn secondary, Jamien Sherwood, in New York.
