Nehemiah Pritchett becomes third Auburn DB to accept invitation to NFL Combine

Auburn will have three representatives from the defensive secondary in Indianapolis from Feb. 27 to March 4 as former Auburn defensive back Nehemiah Pritchett has accepted his invitation to the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Pritchett will join fellow former Auburn defensive backs Jaylin Simpson and DJ James in Indianapolis for the invite-only event, which allows NFL Scouts to evaluate some of the top draft-eligible talent in the country.

Pritchett’s invitation to the combine comes on the heels of his fifth season on The Plains, which saw him appear in nine of Auburn’s 13 games in 2023. Pritchett missed the first three weeks of action in 2023 with injury and later opted out of the Tigers’ Music City Bowl matchup with the Maryland Terrapins.

Through nine games in 2023, Pritchett tallied 22 total tackles and logged an interception.

In his five seasons at Auburn, Pritchett tallied a total of 115 tackles, three interceptions and 29 pass breakups.

According to Pro Football Focus, Pritchett ranks at the 15th-best cornerback in the 2024 NFL Draft and was given a 71.2 season grade for his 2023 campaign.
