Auburn finally got to participate in the 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville, as Jamel Dean became the 94th overall selection to Tampa Bay!
Dean was the first Tiger off the board toward the end of the third round. His combination of size and speed will make him a formidable defender in the backfield for the Buccaneers this coming fall, and he made scouts well aware of what he could do physically at an imposing NFL combine showing.
He’ll pair with former Auburn cornerback Carlton Davis in Tampa, as Davis went in the second round to the Bucs in the 2018 Draft.
