The 101st through 135th selections will make up the fourth round of the NFL Draft when the league reconvenes on April 27 in Detroit for the third day of this year’s event.

It could be a busy round for selections from Auburn, with Tigers defensive backs Jaylin Simpson, Nehemiah Pritchett and DJ James and defensive tackle Marcus Harris projected to be picked around this range.

Auburn players have proven to be a good value when picked from No. 101 through No. 135 in past drafts:

· Chosen 101st in 1986 by the San Francisco 49ers, offensive tackle Steve Wallace is the only Auburn alumnus to play in three Super Bowl victories.

· Chosen 102nd in 1996 by the Washington Redskins, running back Stephen Davis has more NFL rushing yards than any other Auburn alumnus.

· Chosen 113th in 1985 by the Los Angeles Rams, outside linebacker Kevin Greene is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

· Chosen 118th in 1984 by the San Diego Chargers, running back Lionel James broke the NFL single-season record for all-purpose yards.

· Chosen 132nd in 1993 by the Miami Dolphins, offensive lineman Chris Gray is among the eight Auburn alumni who have played in more than 200 NFL regular-season games.

The Auburn players who have been picked with the 101st through 135th selections of an NFL Draft include:

No. 101 picks: Ken Bernich, linebacker, San Diego Chargers, 1975; Steve Wallace, tackle, San Francisco 49ers, 1986; David Rocker, defensive tackle, Houston Oilers, 1991.

Bernich didn’t make the Chargers, but he finished the 1975 season with the New York Jets with the only five games of his NFL career after Jamie Rivers, their middle linebacker, sustained an ankle injury. Bernich became a high school football coach.

Wallace played on three Super Bowl winners with San Francisco and earned Pro Bowl recognition in 1992 during his 12-year NFL career.

Rocker played in 34 games in four seasons with the Rams. He later was the head coach at Point University.

No. 102 pick: Stephen Davis, running back, Washington Redskins, 1996.

Davis has the most NFL rushing yards of any Auburn alumnus with 8,052. Seven former Auburn players have recorded 1,000-yard rushing seasons in the NFL (not counting Brandon Jacobs, who entered the NFL via Southern Illinois), and Davis came from farthest down in the draft to do so. Davis had four 1,000-yard seasons, the same number as William Andrews, who was drafted with the 79th pick in 1979. James Brooks, Joe Cribbs and Rudi Johnson had three 1,000-yard seasons apiece. Brooks was drafted No. 24 in 1981, Cribbs was drafted at No. 29 in 1980 and Johnson was drafted at No. 100 in 2001. Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams, who had one 1,000-yard season apiece, went at No. 2 and No. 5, respectively, in 2005.

No. 103 pick: George Gross, defensive tackle, St. Louis Cardinals, 1962.

A native of Romania, Gross went with the San Diego Chargers instead of St. Louis after being the 128th selection in the 1962 AFL Draft. He was a future pick in both drafts and signed his first pro contract under the goal posts at Legion Field after the Iron Bowl on Dec. 1, 1962. “Mr. Muscles” spent five seasons with the Chargers, starting with San Diego’s AFL championship campaign in 1963. His brother Andy Gross also played at Auburn but was not drafted. That didn’t keep Andy Gross from playing in every game in the 1967 and 1968 seasons for the New York Giants.

No. 107 pick: Bobby Wasden, end, San Francisco 49ers, 1960.

Wasden did not play in the NFL. But in 27 years as a high school football coach in Alabama, he compiled a 202-86-7 record.

No. 113 picks: George Rogers, tackle, Green Bay Packers, 1955; Kevin Greene, linebacker, Los Angeles Rams, 1985; Leonardo Carson, defensive tackle, San Diego Chargers, 2000; Gabe Wright, defensive tackle, Detroit Lions, 2015.

Two former Auburn players are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. After his only season on the Plains, Frank “Gunner” Gatski was not drafted. He tried out for the Cleveland Browns of the All-American Football Conference, starting a 12-year career during which the center played in a league championship game 11 times. Gatski entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985. In 2016, he was joined by Greene. A two-time first-team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler, Greene recorded 160 sacks — the third-highest total in NFL history and the most for a player who was primarily a linebacker.

Carson started 15 games for the Dallas Cowboys in his fifth season. But the next season, he lost his job in training camp to Jay Ratliff, a rookie from Auburn, and never played in another NFL game.

Wright played in seven games as a rookie with the Lions in 2015. In the next seven seasons, Wright played in eight NFL regular-season games.

No. 114 picks: Ben Preston, tackle, Washington Redskins, 1958; Jeff Parks, tight end, Houston Oilers, 1986; Brad Ware, defensive back, Tennessee Titans, 1999; Ricardo Louis, wide receiver, Cleveland Browns, 2016.

A Gardendale High School star, Parks had one reception in 15 games across three NFL seasons. Parks had a 22-yard reception for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Dec. 4, 1988. Something else unique happened on that day: The Bucs’ 10-5 victory over the Buffalo Bills is the only NFL game to end with that score.

Ware left Auburn with a season of eligibility remaining and never played in an NFL regular-season game.

On the receiving end of the Prayer at Jordan-Hare, Louis caught 45 passes for 562 yards in his first two seasons with Cleveland, then missed the 2018 and 2019 NFL seasons because of injuries, and his football career continued in the CFL.

No. 115 pick: Fred Baxter, tight end, New York Jets, 1993.

A prep star at Pike County, Baxter played 134 games in 11 seasons, including the first eight with New York. Baxter caught 100 passes for 1,008 yards and 12 touchdowns.

No. 116 picks: Carl Lawson, defensive end, Cincinnati Bengals, 2017; Colby Wooden, defensive lineman, Green Bay Packers, 2024.

Lawson led the NFL’s rookies with 8.5 sacks in 2017 and earned a place on the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-Rookie team. In 2020, Lawson finished second in the NFL with 32 quarterback hits and earned a three-year, $45 million contract from the New York Jets in free agency, but a knee injury kept him off the field during the 2021 season. He returned with seven sacks and 24 quarterback hits in 2022, then played in only six games in 2023.

Wooden played in every game as a rookie, getting on the field for 23 percent of Green Bay’s defensive snaps in 2023.

No. 118 pick: Lionel James, running back, San Diego Chargers, 1984.

James’ roster measurements were 5-foot-6 and 171 pounds, but “Little Train” lasted for five NFL seasons. He led the NFL in kickoff-return yards as a rookie and in all-purpose yards in his second season. James’ 2,535 all-purpose yards in 1985 set an NFL single-season record, and it’s been bettered only three times since. In 1985, James caught 86 passes for 1,027 yards and six touchdowns to join Red Phillip as the only Auburn alumni with 1,000 receiving yards in an NFL season. Frank Sanders has joined them by recording two 1,000-yard receiving seasons since. James is one of five running backs with 1,000 receiving yards in one season.

No. 119 picks: Tommie Agee, running back, Seattle Seahawks, 1987; James Willis, linebacker, Green Bay Packers, 1993.

Agee played in 100 regular-season games, ran for 309 yards and one touchdown and caught 44 passes for 366 yards and one touchdown. He played in every game as a fullback for Dallas in 1992, when the Cowboys won Super Bowl XXVI.

Like Agee, Willis played in seven NFL seasons. In 93 regular-season games, he intercepted four passes and recovered five fumbles. All 44 of Willis’ NFL starts came in the 1996, 1997 and 1998 seasons, when he was the middle linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles and made 255 tackles.

Agee and Willis were Alabama prep stars – Agee at Maplesville and Willis at J.O. Johnson in Huntsville.

No. 125 pick: Fob James, back, Chicago Cardinals, 1956.

James never played for the Cardinals. He did play for the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes, but he’s better known in Alabama these days for serving two terms as the state’s governor more than a decade apart — from 1979 to 1983 and 1995 to 1999.

No. 127 picks: Ty Irby, back, Detroit Lions, 1946; Neil O’Donoghue, kicker, Buffalo Bills, 1977.

Seven Auburn players have been drafted as specialists — kicker or punter — with O’Donoghue coming off the draft board the quickest. He spent nine seasons in the NFL, reaching a high of 117 points for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1984.

No. 129 picks: Lloyd Cheatham, back, Brooklyn Dodgers, 1941; Corey Barlow, defensive back, Philadelphia Eagles, 1992; Jonathan Wilhite, New England Patriots, 2008.

Cheatham was drafted twice. After being drafted by Brooklyn, Cheatham played another season at Auburn. In 1942, Cheatham, a top blocking back, got drafted 115 spots higher by the Chicago Cardinals, played professional baseball for the Montgomery Rebels and the Anniston Rams of the Class B Southeastern League and appeared in 11 games in his rookie NFL season. World War II service caused Cheatham to miss the next three seasons. He returned in 1946 to play three seasons with the New York Yankees of the All-American Football Conference.

Barlow played in 10 NFL regular-season games in his only NFL season, and Wilhite played in 54 in five seasons.

No. 131 pick: Brandon Mosley, tackle, New York Giants, 2012.

The injuries started early for Mosley and plagued his NFL career. He missed his entire rookie season, played in 22 games over the next two seasons and was released at the end of the preseason in 2015.

No. 132 picks: Dave Campbell, defensive end, Miami Dolphins, 1970; Chris Gray, guard, Miami Dolphins, 1993.

Things didn’t work out for Campbell with Miami in 1970 or the New Orleans Saints in 1971, and he never played in an NFL regular-season game. As a high school football coach in Alabama, Campbell compiled a 132-84 record in 13 seasons at Walker and six at Sumiton Christian.

Gray spent the final 10 of his 15 NFL seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and was a starter for the entire decade. Gray is one of the eight Auburn alumni who has played in more than 200 NFL regular-season games, appearing in 208. The top two on Auburn’s list for NFL games — place-kicker Al Del Greco with 248 and fullback Tony Richardson with 234 — were not drafted. Other Auburn players with 200 NFL games include Kevin Greene (228), Takeo Spikes (219), Wayne Gandy (219), Karlos Dansby (212) and Ed West (211). West wasn’t drafted either.

No. 133 picks: Tyronne Green, guard, San Diego Chargers, 2009; Jarrett Stidham, quarterback, New England Patriots, 2019.

After playing in 41 games with 28 starts in his first four NFL seasons in San Diego, Green signed contracts with the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers but never played in a regular-season game for any of them.

Stidham backed up Tom Brady in his first season and former Auburn All-American (and No. 1 draft pick) Cam Newton in his second in New England. He made his first NFL starts for the Las Vegas Raiders in the final two games of the 2022 season and became the second player in NFL history with at least 350 passing yards and three touchdown passes in his first start.
