Two Auburn defensive tackles were chosen in the NFL Draft on April 27, with the Dallas Cowboys taking Justin Rogers and the Houston Texans picking Marcus Harris in a span of four picks in the seventh round.

The Tennessee Titans announced this week they were re-signing another defensive tackle from Auburn, Marlon Davidson, for the 2024 season.

The transactions raised the representation on NFL rosters of defensive tackles from Auburn to seven. According to Pro Football Focus’ survey of the NFL’s offseason rosters, only one college program has more defensive tackles in the league than Auburn, which is tied with Clemson, Iowa, LSU, North Carolina State and Texas.

But each of those schools has only half as many NFL defensive tackles as the college program with the most on offseason rosters. Alabama has 14 alumni playing defensive tackles in the NFL.

The Crimson Tide’s defensive tackles currently on NFL rosters include:

· Jonathan Allen, Washington Commanders

· Christian Barmore, New England Patriots

· Isaiah Buggs, Kansas City Chiefs

· Raekwon Davis, Indianapolis Colts

· Justin Eboigbe, Los Angeles Chargers

· Da’Shawn Hand, Miami Dolphins

· Phidarian Mathis, Washington Commanders

· Daron Payne, Washington Commanders

· LaBryan Ray, Carolina Panthers

· Jarran Reed, Seattle Seahawks

· A’Shawn Robinson, Carolina Panthers

· Dalvin Tomlinson, Cleveland Browns

· Quinnen Williams, New York Jets

· Byron Young, Las Vegas Raiders

Eboigbe is the newest name on Alabama’s list. He joined the Chargers in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

In addition to Davidson, Harris and Rogers, Auburn’s current defensive tackles in the NFL include:

· Montravius Adams, Pittsburgh Steelers

· Angelo Blackson, Denver Broncos

· Derrick Brown, Carolina Panthers

· Colby Wooden, Green Bay Packers

The defensive tackles from the two Alabama schools include some of the highest-paid players at the position. Both Brown and Williams have contracts worth $96 million.

The value of Payne’s contract is $90 million, with Barmore at $83 million, Allen at $72 million and Tomlinson at $57 million.
