Filed under: Auburn
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Lombardi Award winner Nick Fairley is skipping his senior season at Auburn to enter the NFL draft.
The potential No. 1 overall pick announced his decision Friday at his old high school, saying he didn’t make up his mind until that morning.
“I was thinking, ‘What more could I accomplish my senior year?’” Fairley said.
He and quarterback Cam Newton — who is also turning pro — led the Tigers to a 14-0 season and their first national title since 1957.
