Byrum Brown eyes NFL draft with strong SEC season at Auburn

Byrum Brown, Auburn's starting quarterback for the 2026 season, is looking to enhance his NFL draft stock through a successful run in the SEC. After throwing for over 3,158 yards, 28 touchdowns, and rushing for over 1,000 yards in his previous season at USF, he brings substantial experience to Auburn. Playing under coach Alex Golesh, who he previously thrived alongside, Brown aims to replicate his 3,000-yard passing success while familiarizing himself with SEC competition. With his top receivers transferring alongside him, Brown could reach significant passing milestones this season, prompting attention from NFL scouts for the 2027 draft.
