As we celebrate SportsCall’s 25th anniversary, we’re taking a look back at the 25 greatest Auburn athletes since 1995!
Coming in at #9 is Derrick Brown:
- Derrick Brown, a former 5-star recruit out of Georgia, might go down as one of Auburn’s greatest defensive players in the program’s history
- As a three-year starter, Brown amassed 170 tackles and 13 sacks in his career. Brown was a force that consistently required double-teams and made an incredible 1-2 punch with Marlon Davidson
- The Carolina Panthers chose Brown 7th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. Brown became the highest defensive draft pick by the Tigers since Aundray Bruce was selected first overall in the 1988 NFL Draft
