Deshaun Davis, Chandler Cox, Dontavius Russell Drafted; Others Sign UDFA Deals

The final portion of the 2019 NFL Draft was one to remember for Auburn, as the Tigers got five names called on the third day of the event. It started with Jarrett Stidham going early to the Patriots and Darius Slayton getting selected by the Giants, but three more players got to learn their professional fates later on in the draft.

In the sixth round, linebacker Deshaun Davis got picked up by the Bengals with the 210th pick. This came after an offseason during which Davis initially got snubbed by the Senior Bowl in his hometown, and took heat from the experts for being too small, too slow, too everything despite showing off for three seasons on the Plains.
