Connor Lew has officially declared for the NFL Draft, and while some Auburn fans are panicking, this is actually a good thing for the program. Auburn sending players to the NFL is the goal — not something to fear. Yes, replacing a starting center won’t be easy, but having guys leave early for the league makes the Auburn job more attractive, not less, especially at a position like center.

We also talk about why this decision isn’t a surprise at all — this was always the plan for Connor Lew — and why it shouldn’t be viewed as a negative reflection on where Auburn is headed. So who does Auburn turn to next to replace him? We walk through the realistic options and what traits the staff will prioritize. Plus, Auburn adds another big commitment to the 2026 class, continuing to quietly build for the future.
