Darrell Williams – Noteworthy
Notably snubbed from postseason all-star games and the NFL Combine, Darrell Williams is not letting that stop him from making waves among perspective NFL teams. Williams, arguably the most versatile linebacker on Auburn’s roster during the last two seasons, produced the third-most tackles on the team in 2017 and second-most in 2018. Williams displayed a wide-range of talent from running downhill for run support to dropping back into pass defense. Despite all that, he saw his name left off all the postseason all-star games and watched six of his Auburn teammates receive invitations to the NFL Combine. The absence of Williams from those postseason opportunities was a shock to not just Auburn fans, but also to Williams and NFL scouts. “Really, a lot of people ask me,” Williams said. “Every scout I talk to asks me the same thing, like ‘What’s up with you not being in an all-star game, not being at the combine?’ Mostly, they were shocked that I wasn’t at the combine.” – The Auburn Plainsman
