Braden Smith capped his Auburn career by becoming a first-team AP All-American after traveling all the way from a decorated high school career in Olathe, Kansas. Later this week, he should be a fairly high draft pick for some team needing a solid offensive guard in the 2018 NFL Draft.
After starting all thirteen games as true freshman and earning an All-SEC Freshman Team nod, Smith remained a stalwart on the Auburn offensive line. He got noticed with accolades every year since then before reaching the All-American First Team as a senior.
